Summary
In 2008 Sean Conway set off on a 1,000 mile bike ride that would shape the next 10 years of his life, as he became obsessed with the idea of becoming a real ultra cyclist. This is his story, how he tried and failed many times to break a cycling world record, and the story about his final world record attempt, cycling 4,000 miles across Europe. Sean nearly gave up on his dream after tragically losing two of his ultra cycling friends, but decided to continue in their honor with his quest to chase big miles on two wheels. Sean looks back at some of his cycling heroes and heroines and the boom in ultra cycling over the last decade.

Such a great listen. Once again Sean nails it. It’s so much better hearing it in his own words!

Makes you wanna grab your bike and go!
Sean had such a love of life that he makes you completely engrossed into his travel story. He gave a big middle finger to the “normal life” and I think he is still enjoying himself to this day. Great adventure book! Bravo!

A great adventure shared
I have listened to some of Sean's other adventures and it is great to have him narrate his own story.
He shares the ups, downs, fears and elation of a great adventure.
