The Focus Challenge
'Most people call me mad, but I like to think of it as passionate'
In June last year I set out from land’s end to check out the routes to john o'groats for a record I’m trying to break next year. I was in a real high from that ride, some great scenery every day, feeling strong, feeling confident about the challenge for next year. . But then a few day’s later I got food poisoning. And after four days of traveling back. By train, by car, catching up with work, I sat down a lot And probably because of that combination I then developed a deep vein thrombisis. I'll tell you more about my story in the video below.
