    The Seabank Marathon does exactly what it says on the tin - The Marathon course runs alond the seabank over fairly rough ground and stiles etc. At least the terrain is flat. You won't get a good time - reckon on an extra hour. If you like bracing sea breezes look no further!

    The direction is usually reversed each year between the two town of Boston and Skegness.

    The race is uually run about the first or second Sunday in June (2003 - 8th June)

    Equipment: Usual Marathon stuff.

    Boston lies at a convienent position on the national route 1 cycle network.

    To the south you head out towards Wisbech, whilst to the north the route heads out to Woodhall Spa and then onto Lincoln.

    The trip to Lincoln especially makes for a pleasant day trip from Boston (approx 4-5 hours), and if you plan it carefully you can return on the train via Sleaford.

    Equipment: For spare part and things try this place in Boston :

     Boston has some strong competition in the US for having the most obese people. Neverthless it looks like a great place to live.

     OH My gosh.. this was way too funny! Well, anything that even remotely refers to anyone as a 'chav' is waaaaay to funny!

     Apparently Boston has just been voted the most obese place in the UK! What'll those chavs do when they can't fit into their Peugeot 106's anymore...!!?
