Truly awesome record and I think the line "Nobody could ever match his record. Even if it was broken, the conditions just aren't comparable." sums it up with all of todays comfort and energy delivery systems.
Good effort to him.

That is amazing. I'd never heard of this until now.

This is incredible. The man should be a legend.

I'm not sure which is most astonishing: cycling the 75,000 miles in a year or thinking ''I may as well make it 100,000 while I'm at it!''

Incredible achievement, and unlikely to be beaten. Having read & watched 'The Man Who Cycled The World' and seen what Mark Beaumont went through for 9 months makes it all the more amazing..

*swoons at the awesomeness*

he is a legend in Solihull, he was a really good mate of a friend of mine. Sadly missed. They now have a sportive named after him.

"Godwin had to learn how to walk normally again when he finished the challenge"

In a weird twist of fate, there are two Tommy Godwins who achieved much in cycling.

The Solihull Tommy Godwin achieved success on the track (two olympic bronze medals).
