The physical feat of the cycling is not the most impressive bit, but rather what happens in the mind, what it took to put herself on the start line, to keep going and to cope with all that the journey required of her.
The pros and cons of this are conveyed well in the book, as are the strategies and coping mechanisms that Jenny rolled out with, and developed over time.The routes were all saved on my Strava account and in my Dropbox as a back-up, but an issue with the Wi-Fi in the flat meant the routes wouldn’t upload the way they had when I’d practised. Irgendwann hat ihr ein Bekannter das Buch von Mark Beaumont empfohlen, der 2008 als schnellster Radfahrer um die Welt gefahren war. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I wouldn’t need them for a long time, but they would be a good backup, because most places in the world recognise their value.
It’s applicable to so many endurance sports and anytime one is starting off on a new unknown adventure with a big dream (such as starting a start-up for me! Absolutely can’t fathom all of the hardships Jenny Graham went through to cycle around the world in a record breaking time (125 days! From Mid-April to Mid-May I’ll be cycling between 20 venues from the New Forest in the far south to my home in Inverness, giving talks about the round-the-world trip and writing books! Jenny holds the female world record and her story is badass, listening via audiobook is highly recommended - Jenny narrates in her lovely Scottish accent, and it includes actually clips from her audio diaries she recorded on the ride.
In 2018, amateur cyclist Jenny Graham left family and friends behind in Scotland to become the fastest woman to cycle around the world.
Before I get ahead of myself, I must say that this is not a traditional sports biography by any means. Jenny is extremely self-aware, able to be extremely introspective, and her audio diaries (before she accidentally smashed her phone! The meticulous account of [Jenny's] ride - filled with details about her struggle to eat well, maintain her bike, and keep it together mentally - provides an intimate look into an impressive accomplishment . cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Over the course of 18,000 miles, ridden alone and with no support crew, in 2018 Jenny Graham smashed the previous Guinness World Record by nearly three weeks finishing in 124days 11hours.
Given her Berlin, Germany start in mid-June, weather became a major source of delay and suffering when the Australian winter cursed her ride with heavy cold downpours, zero-degree temperatures and unforgiving winds along the southern coast down-under.
She takes you by the hand and leads you through more of the technical details of cycling, such as saddle material, chains, fittings, techniques, and more. Whether it’s being shepherd around some bears on the road or putting her trust in mechanics to overhaul her bike hours before she is to set out again, Jenny seems to always have it together. Brief explanations of technical terms, dangers and joys of being on the open road and the ins and outs of specific gear are all explained. From start to finish she captured what it was like the spend life on the road, the ups and downs and how ridiculously blooming hard she worked for that record.Less relatable were some of the wildlife come across and the sheer incredible physical feat of riding around the planet in 124 hours.
