The cyclists will make their tenth lunar landing today. And to give the swimmers a comparable unit (they're half way on their first trip), they've swum from Lands End to New York and back 18 times. See what units of measurement you can come up with, and I'll bring back that little box that tells you random ones. Feel free to offer collective ones, and individual targets

Pace Jul 2012 9:37am, 26 Jul 2012 677 posts	Quote Pin Pace I will now put aside my slight disappointment that this isn't a thread about actually running on the moon. Due to reduced gravity, am I less overweight on the moon? Possible units: Tour de Frances Kings Cross to Olympic Parks Olympic traffic lanes Laps of Seb Coe's ego (still less than 1?)
