Land's End to John O'Groats: The ride that started it all

In 2008, tired of going abroad on holiday and realising just how little he knew about the country he lived in, Sean Conway decided to take a month off to explore it. He bought a bike online and cycled the iconic Land's End to John O'Groats, solo and unsupported. Sean faced cold nights, wet days, and spent nearly a month by himself. It turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime and ignited his fire for endurance cycling. 10 years later Sean would go on to break the world record for cycling across Europe. This is where it all started.
