In 2008 James Golding discovered he had an 11.5 cm tumor in him, and was diagnosed with Cancer. After recovering and riding across the USA, James was diagnosed with cancer again in 2011. 2012, James was given the all clear, and against all the odds has achieved World Records on the bike and is aiming to become the first Briton to win Race Across America.
