Fla. Curley is director of cycling programs for World TEAM Sports, which promotes athletics for people with disabilities, and has raced as a sighted tandem pilot for blind stokers. The pair began the trip in June 1996 as a fund-raiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. Ramsden dipped his front wheel into the Beagle Channel off Usuaia, Argentina, on March 3, shaving seven weeks off the record time for a 15,500-mile bike trek and earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records. Meanwhile, Ross was just getting home from 17 weeks in the hospital after a catastrophic crash with a bus in Guatemala City, the halfway point of the bike trip. His neck was broken, and now he's a quadriplegic.
