Jenny Graham - Around The World Record

[Beebo]

121 days gone, and she is well into Belgium. She ONLY has half of German to go.

 

[Beebo]

She could finish tonight if she blasts the final day and has a favourable route.
Although she may chose to have a triumphant finish tomorrow.

In the outskirts of Berlin now!

She’s done it.

 

[Beebo]

Her final leg was 32 hours non stop!

Incredible feat

 

[Heltor Chasca]

Hugely optimistic plan, I would think - self supported, 16 hours per day, 180 miles per day.

But, good luck to her

Seems like Lady Luck chose well

 

[Shadow]

Chapeau! - fantastic achievement.

(I should raise a glass of good single malt in her honour but it will have to wait til the morrow).

JG interviewed on BBC Breakfast this morning.

 

[Bazzer]

There is also an interview with her on today's Woman's Hour. From around 36:30 on the podcast.

Thanks @Bazzer. Her pluckiness shone through. Well worth a listen.

 

[Kempstonian]

That's an amazing ride, especially as she was unsupported. The girl dun good!

The BBC regions are buried in the 900s on Sky boxes.

BBC Scotland is channel 951.

The Adventure Show is worth a watch for us largely armchair adventurers.

They've done a few decent cycling features.
