Read the T1 Trust Facebook page as I was not that aware of the goal of the project and I have to say I really see no problem with the goal of the group.
Kind of refreshing really. If it does not work out, there was still a group of dedicated people who decided to get off their A** and try to do something that interested them.
After reading some of the BS posted above I hope the group not only breaks the speed record, I hope they do it pulling a much heavier load going uphill against the wind!
Then when that is done, I hope someone from the other side of the pond tries the same thing. Much more interesting to me.
