On the 11th of May 2018, ‘Britain’s favorite lunatic’ (Radio 2) Sean Conway broke the World Record for the fastest crossing of Europe by bicycle.
Starting in Cabo de Roca on the west coast of Portugal, Sean successfully cycled 4,000 miles across Europe, finishing at the Russian town of Ufa in 24 days, 18 hours and 39 minutes. The attempt was completely unsupported, meaning Sean had to carry all of his own kit with him along the way.
