London: A team of eight seriously-wounded British ex-servicemen with just seven legs between them, took part in one of the world’s toughest endurance contests by cycling in the Race Across America.


Race Across America is a coast-to-coast relay bicycle marathon through deserts, mountains and plains that is one of the most formidable endurance events in the world, tough enough for the fittest able-bodied competitor.

They rode in relay around the clock, one cyclist at a time, followed by 18 support crew — physiotherapists, doctors, logistics staff, drivers and mechanics — in five vehicles.
