We’ve just heard from Guinness World Records – the application has been accepted – so dad’s bike ride will be a world record attempt! The current holder is Tony Rathbone (81 and 162 days when he completed). If all goes to plan dad will be 85 and 25 days.
I met and rode with Tony when he did a JOGLE the next year. I hope to ride with Peter if he comes through my patch.

That sounds great! I read that Tony had done a much quieter trip the following year.
The GWR requirements are quite exacting and dad decided that it wasn’t worth trying to get his head round the technology of a GPS and doing video everyday. You may also have seen that we’ve just found out that an 86 year old has also just set off, so you may be interested in tracking him down too! If you email me we can see if it’s possible for you to meet with dad. maggi@mosaic-consulting.co.uk Many thanks! Maggi
