When Ellie Bennett decides to tackle Britain's most iconic cycling challenge—the epic ride from Land's End to John O'Groats—she discovers that the journey is about far more than just reaching the finish line. This is the story of one woman's adventure through the length of Britain, pedalling through stunning landscapes, unpredictable weather, and the inevitable moments of doubt that come with any long-distance challenge.

What sets this account apart is Bennett's refreshingly honest approach and her commitment to experiencing the journey properly—which naturally includes strategic stops at characterful pubs along the way. Combining humour, determination, and a genuine love for the British countryside, this is an inspiring tale that will resonate with anyone who's ever dreamed of undertaking a grand cycling adventure, or simply enjoys a good story about pushing oneself beyond perceived limits.
