Christopher Hole, Cycling Around The World

The Ultimate Bike Ride – Saddling up to cycle around the World in 100 days

Christopher Hole is a personal trainer and an Ultra Distance Cyclist based in Bristol. He is planning to smash the around-the-world cycling record in 2012. He got in touch with Bristol Explorers to tell us why he’s going for the seemingly impossible:

” My plan in a nutshell is in March 2012 to Cycle Around the World in 100 Days, this means pedalling a minimum of 18,000 miles in all and approaching 200 miles per day. To give you some comparison the current record stands at 176 days and I think the average daily mileage was about 110-120 miles.

I believe it doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve come from or where you are right now. What matters is that you have a vision, a dream, something you would endure pain for until it was fulfilled. This is the Ride of my Life”
