Jenny Graham

Eastbound is the inspiring story of one woman’s record-breaking cycle around the World. Over the course of 18,000 miles, ridden alone and with no support crew in 2018, Jenny Graham smashed the previous Guinness World Record by nearly three weeks finishing in 124days 11hours. This film follows Jenny as she tackles the gruelling daily routine of 14 hours in the saddle with the harsh realities of the journey. From the sheer terror of near collisions on Russian roads, to experiencing a myriad of different cultures, and finding friendships with strangers. We see the misery of mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and watch as Jenny tackles alarming encounters with kangaroos and grizzly bears. By the time she returns to the finish line at the Brandenburg Gates it’s no surprise that Jenny is a changed person thanks to one humble bike, the entire world, and an unforgettable adventure.

Jenny Graham designs a grueling training ride, over 1200 kilometres, in preparation for one of the toughest solo ultra endurance races in the world, The Transcontinental. Exploring the history and rules of The TCR, Jenny chats to Race Director Anna Haslock, past winner James Hayden, Performance Coach Laura Penhaul, and cycling Chef Alan Murchision for expert advice on how to tackle the race. From her home in Scotland to Bath in the South West England, Jenny’s ride will test the physical and mental fitness she’ll need to tackle the 4000 kilometre race across Europe.

Deep in the Gobi Desert, the toughest and most remote part of Mongolia, Jenny Graham and Conor Dunne team up in an attempt to become the first cyclists to conquer one of the largest and most daunting sand dune systems in Asia.
