'More than a record attempt' – Dr Sarah Ruggins set to begin 6,000km fastest known time for cycling from bottom to the top of Europe

Only a year ago Dr Sarah Ruggins was recovering from the gruelling experience of setting a new John o' Groats to Land's End and back record. But it didn't take the Canadian-born ultra-cyclist long to dream up a new challenge that would take her even further. This time, she will be riding south to north across Continental Europe – and her ride begins tomorrow (Friday 5 June).

Her 'One Way North' (OWN) record attempt, announced earlier this year, will take her from Tarifa in Spain – the most southerly point of mainland Europe – all the way up to Nordkapp at the top of Norway.
