One woman. One bike. One world. In 2018, over the course of 18,000
miles, amateur cyclist Jenny Graham smashed the round-the-world
cycling record by nearly three weeks, finishing in 124 days and 11
hours. But her real achievement was a new relationship with herself
and with the world. Alone and unsupported, Jenny left family and
friends behind in Scotland to complete her mission: a solo lap of
the planet by bike. Her inspiring story swerves from terrifying
near collisions on the Russian roads and weather extremes in the
southern hemisphere to the beauty of the Mongolian landscape and
exhilarating wildlife encounters in North America. As she battles
the physical and mental challenge to race against the clock, Jenny
gradually opens up to the joy of the adventure itself and all its
daily discoveries, and gives in to her impulse to connect with
people. With infectious wit and honesty, Jenny recounts her
friendships with strangers and the myriad different cultures she
comes across that gave her a new perspective on the world. By the
time Jenny crosses the finish line at the Brandenburg Gate she is a
changed person, thanks to one humble bike, and the entire world.
Jenny broke the record, but it was what she discovered about
herself and the world around her that truly changed her.
