Press Release Technology driven Race Across America
In June 2008, IT company, IP6net, will support the United 8 cycling team in an attempt to ride across America in a 3,000-mile non-stop journey from California to Atlantic City for charity.
The 8 man tag team will cross 15 state borders, climbing four times the altitude of Everest and intend to complete the entire trip within just seven days.
Thanks to the help of IP6net, supporters back in the UK are able join in the fun and view live streaming online from via a ‘helmet cam’. They will also be able to track the team’s progress by GPS navigation and keep up to speed with the latest news by way of an online blog. ‘Unfortunately for them, there will be no opportunity for shortcuts…we are hooking them up with mobile email too, so messages of encouragement can reach them regularly’ says Dave Davies, of IP6net. ‘We were originally approached to host the website, but as the team is clearly going the extra mile, we thought this would be the perfect way to get everyone behind them’. The unimaginable adventure is in aid of charity CLIC Sargent as one of the team members, Alex Waters, is himself a cancer survivour. Determination and endurance will be tested throughout the entire experience, which is 1000 miles longer than the Tour de France. To make a donation or find out more, visit www.united8.org.  |
