World Cycling Stripped Bare by Sean Conway
Sean Conway woke up one day, realising he was sick of the rat race, wanted to do something that would shape the rest of his life. With virtually no cycling experience, Sean decided that he would try and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. Six months before he departed he had no bike, no funding and couldn't even cycle 40 miles without having to catch the train home. Find out everything from equipment, nutrition, training, safety, sponsorship, and how to go from cycling 40 miles to 200 miles a day. Sean really believes that ANYONE can cycle around the world. The hardest part is getting to the start line. This book will make sure you are as prepared as you'll ever be when you get there.
Sean Conway is an endurance adventurer and self confessed nutter. He seems to take pleasure in mentally and physically pushing himself way beyond what he thought possible. He started his endurance adventures with a mile swim across a lake at the age of 10 and then again at 12. Sean then took to another water-sport and throughout his teens he competed in many endurance kayak (K1 & K2) marathons. Amongst many other challenges Sean is mostly recognised for climbing Kilimanjaro dressed as a penguin and more recently cycling 16,000 miles through 6 continents in 116 days and doing most of it with a fractured spine after getting run over by a truck in America. His never-give-up attitude captured the imagination of thousands and is now giving talks about setting your goals high, challenging yourself and overcoming tough times. Having grown up in Africa, Sean also focuses his energies on trying to raise awareness about banishing the kerosene lamp from Africa by the end of the decade. This audacious goal is being pioneered by the charity Solar Aid to which Sean supports.
