Jenny Graham is an adventurer, presenter, public speaker, author and self-confessed; Endurance loving, earth-hugging, fist pumping ‘dirtbag’. Her debut book Coffee First Then the World share tales of her most gruelling journey to date; A record-breaking cycle around the planet. 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. The story swerves from the sheer terror of near collisions on the Russian roads that force Jenny to night ride, to the friendship of strangers and the myriad different cultures of Asia. She recounts the misery of mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere, alarming encounters with kangaroos, grizzly bears and countless others. By the time Jenny returns to the finish line at the Brandenburg Gates she is a changed person thanks to one humble bike, the entire world, and an unforgettable adventure. Jenny wasn’t born into a culture of elite sport, but through a mad tapestry of life experiences she gained the grit and the humour with which to truly strive. Believing you never know what you might end up doing, so long as you are open to change and keep smiling. She has travelled the world racing and touring in grass roots back-packing events and continues explorations with her role as a presenter on Global Cycling Network's documentary channel. There, she has found herself deep into the heart of Colombian FARC territory interviewing formal guerrilla warfare soldiers. Ridden fat bikes down Asia’s largest sand dune system The 'Khongoryn Els' and lost herself in Iceland one Friday night on the side of Fagradalsfjall volcano as molten lava poured from the creator rolling right by her feet. As much as Jenny is a feral soul she holds a deeply rooted connection to her community in the highlands of Scotland where she lives amongst her family and friends, including her now grown up son Lachlan. Jenny’s background in social care has fuelled her passionate and drive to promote equality and opportunities in the outdoors and over the years has dedicated her time to such projects.
