A charity stands to gain after one man set off in pursuit of achieving a huge cycling feat by riding from Land's End to John O'Groats and back again.<\/p>\n
The Oxford Mail has told how Josh Parsons is cycling the 1,800-mile route in just seven days in a bid to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Mr Parsons, of Bicester, will travel about 250 miles each day on his bike named Isabelle until he reaches the extreme north of Scotland. He will then turn around and return to Cornwall.<\/p>\n
"I'm obsessed with cycling. It probably started when I was 11 when I first got my hands on a bike," he said.<\/p>\n
The avid cyclist added he cannot stand his bike being off the road, as this forces him on to the bus instead.<\/p>\n
While the 1,800-mile route may sound daunting, Mr Parsons already has experience of cycling 40 miles a day to and from work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
