Title: Europe end to end
Post by: quixoticgeek on 08 July, 2019, 09:42:58 am


Dr Ian Walker has gone and finished his Europe end to end record attempt, in 16 days 20 hours 59 minutes. Taking over 2.5 days off the previous effort, set just a month or so ago.

He did a monster 500+km on the last 'day'*, to complete the ride.

You can find more info, and also how to sponsor him (he's raising money for Road Peace), on his website here:

*Well since his last over night sleep stop

Ps posted under racing, as I wasn't sure where else to put it.

Amazing effort. I am particularly impressed how little he seemed to slow down as the miles added up. Also he seemed ridiculously cheerful in his video clips posted to Twitter.
