Big Mile Cycling: Ten Years. 60000 Miles. One Dream

by Sean Conway

In 2008 Sean Conway set off on a 1000 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 failled many times, to break a cycling world record, and the story about his final world record attempt, cycling 4000 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 honour with his quest to chase big miles on two wheels. Sean looks back at some of his cycling heroes, heroines, and the boom in ultra-cycling over the last decade.

Fantastic Read

Sean is yet to disappoint me, I have read all of his books which have been brilliant. Each book takes you on an amazing journey and Sean makes us feel like we are there with him! I am very lucky to have met Sean and he will continue to amaze me and be an inspiration to me.

Thanks for everything Sean and keep going! Can't wait for the next!

I loved this book so much I am listening to it again!

I wish all of Sean’s books were on Audible.
Sean does a great job of narrating and putting you in the bike with him, with many hilarious moments and some real serious ones!
I have read all of Sean’s books, each one making me want to get out the door and off on an adventure, whether that’s an evening run or weekend of exploring trails on my bike.
Sean is here to remind us that life is better when we explore and you don’t have to be a super athlete to do it, even though he denies it, I think his athletic feats are incredible!

Well done Sean on some amazing adventures and brilliant writing that allows us to share the experiences with you.

Don’t think twice about buying his books, unless you prefer your boring life on the couch.
