Big Mile Cycling: Ten Years, 60,000 Miles, One Dream

By: Sean Conway

Narrated by: Sean Conway

In 2008 Sean Conway set off on a 1,000 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 failed many times to break a cycling world record, and the story about his final world record attempt, cycling 4,000 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 honor with his quest to chase big miles on two wheels. Sean looks back at some of his cycling heroes and heroines and the boom in ultra cycling over the last decade.

Great listen

Next best thing to being on your bike. This will motivate you to get on your bike.

Lekker!!!

Really enjoyed the story, the back stories and the history! Thanks for being a good story teller Sean!

Great book when on an a road trip.

Sean’s stories kept me wanting to hear more. I loved hearing about the high and lows of each day on the road, imagining myself exactly where he was, except Russian roads, yikes. My favorite supporting character was Pedro. Congrats to Sean on this great achievement, the ride and the book.

Excellent

Great book with wonderful stories plus excellent tips for those embarking on endurance cycling events. The narration is superb - a really enjoyable South African accent.

Quite good

Sean is such an approachable character, and always does such a stellar job of saying so much in a quick reading style.
