The oldest person to cycle from Land's End to John-O'-Groats (female) is 82 years 38 days and was achieved by Gina Harris (UK) in Land's End, Cornwall, UK, on 27 May 2022.
Gina made this attempt to raise money for two charities helping women and children in abusive marriages. "They are charities in desperate need of support because the victims are often too afraid, frightened or even ashamed to speak out about what is happening to them."
The real anxiety for Gina was fear of seriously bad weather - especially high winds and storms - or mechanical failure of her bike.
Good luck is Gina's secret to a healthy life! "I'm just fortunate that I avoided serious illness, and I was born in a country with a National Health Service"
"I dare to hope that it might help me in my fundraising for the charities that I support, and that it might encourage other people who think that they are too old to have an adventure."
