Anne Mustoe started cycling around the world when she was 54 years old. She says she 'wanted an adventure before it was too late'.

Inspired by a European man cycling in Rajasthan, India, she eventually gave up her job and set off in 1987 on her first solo cycle ride around the world.

She has now cycled round the world from West to East and from East to West, and has completed several other long and short journeys by bike. See the impressive list and read about the adventures of this improbable cyclist at: www.annemustoe.co.uk
