Cincinnati Bengals Dhani Jones Tackles the Globe

by The Stripe on April 13, 2010

Was just offered a screening of Dhani Jones Tackles the Globe premiere from the Travel Channel.

Will you let you know how it is. You can see the season premiere next week Monday, April 19 at 11 p.m. on the Travel Channel.

I don’t how many of you watched the first season of the show, but I would recommend staying up late on Monday nights or setting the DVR this time around. Last season was great and I shouldn’t have to remind Bengals fans that HBO’s Hard Knocks will be featuring the New York Jets this season and not Cincinnati.

During the first season, Jones was gracious enough to do an interview with Bengalstripes.com (Dhani Jones interview). Most professional athletes wouldn’t take the time to speak with a blogger.

This year, Jones will host a live video chat from his Facebook page (Dhani Jones Facebook) April 18 at 9 p.m. where anyone can chat with the Bengals linebacker.

From the Travel Channel: Dhani Tackles the Globe returns on Monday April, 19th at 11 E/P with Dhani tackling a cycling race in Italy.

The premiere episode features Dhani’s trip to Italy where he attempts one of the hardest things he has ever done. Every year the small city of Bassano Del Grappa hosts a very popular cycling event called the Gran Fondo De Monte Grappa. It is an 80 mile race, which is difficult enough on it’s own, but the first 17 miles of the race are a grueling uphill battle.

Dhani knows that it is him vs. the mountain, and he doesn’t have high hopes. He calls it “the first athletic contest I’ve entered that I thought I couldn’t win.” Though the race is a monumental challenge, Dhani meets a few new friends to help him along the way.
