Having commenced in March 2009, the Cycle Strongman Expedition (CSX) is a test both physically and mentally. The eight year odyssey will involve cycling around the globe (covering Australia, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas), sailing across two oceans and eight seas and (if luck, health and good winds have it) all the way back home again.
The CSX is as much a personal journey about self discovery as a catalyst to inspire individuals. The expedition is a tool to challenge each and everyone of us to accept our universal responsibility: What we do to the earth and each other we do to ourselves. There is no magic fix to tackling the numerous challenges confronting our generation, yet the consequences of inaction are enormous. It is hoped that the expedition can inspire change.
The solutions to these challenges will require a whole new approach to the way we value each other and the environment as we prepare our societies to become truly sustainable. Tackling these problems will involve a lot of determination, effort and change from each and everyone of us. We will need to bring people of all nations together to find creative global solutions if we are to leave any hope for future generations.

The CSX is proudly supporting Oxfam for the duration of the expedition. Oxfam Australia is a not-for-profit, secular organisation that is part of a global movement working hard to fight poverty and injustice. It is hoped that through inspiring individuals we can raise $1 for every kilometer pedalled. Help us to change the world. Even if it is just a dollar it all counts!
The expedition is looking for community groups, businesses and individuals to take up the CSX $1 per kilometer challenge and help Oxfam assist underprivileged communities the world over! We can’t do this alone and need your support!
Join this exciting expedition as the journey ventures to the four corners of the planet and visit some of the more remote and diverse regions on earth. Share in the challenges, triumphs and struggles along the way, see the vivid landscapes and unique cultures encountered as they’re documented on the CSX website.
