Cycling's Unbreakable Record | 839 Miles in Less Than 44 Hours | LEJOG

In this feature-length documentary, watch 24-hour time trial specialist, Michael Broadwith’s incredible attempt to set the fastest Land's End to John o’Groats cycling record. Produced by Joe Norledge and Tom Wragg, ‘Cycling’s Unbreakable Record’ sheds light on the motivation behind the record attempt, the remarkable physiological and mental effort required, and the highs and lows of Broadwith’s amazing ride. Known as ‘the End to End’, the route is roughly 839 miles long with 34,626 feet of elevation, including two mountains. The record has been regulated by the Road Records Association and in its history, there have been less than 30 successful attempts by men and women. Gethin Butler beat the men’s record in 2001 with a time of 44 hours, four minutes and 19 seconds. For a long time, this record was deemed unbreakable – a feat of pure superhuman endurance and mind over matter riding. But Broadwith had become fascinated by the record. The poetic quality of seeing a route spanning the length of the country, its rich history and the sense of it being a journey many others have ridden before him, drove Broadwith to try and break Butler’s record in 2018. Behind the record attempt there is a huge emotional, financial and training investment. There is also the need for self-conviction to justify not only taking yourself to the start line, but bringing a full support team with you. Once you are there, what happens next is close to two days of relentless riding. No sleep, indescribable pain and fatigue, and febrile euphoria.
