Worms To Catch
Author(s): Guy Martin
After the death-defying, adrenalin fuelled, high-speed adventures of last year, this year Guy has decided to take it easy. A gentle start to 2016 saw Guy cycle 527 miles from Lincolnshire to Scotland, sleeping outside in a bitterly cold January to compete in a 24-hour bike race in snow and ice. In March he ll be going for the w orld record on the W all of Death live on Channel 4, aiming to hit over 80mph w ithout w ith the g-force knocking him out. Then there s the Tour Divide in May, an ultra-cycling challenge to pedal 2,745 miles solo and self-supported along the Rocky Mountains from Banff to New Mexico against the clock. After that it ll be back to the day job in the garage in Grimsby, but Moody s giving him some time off in August so he can attempt the two-w heel land speed record, he s looking to become the first man ever to do over 400mph on a motorbike.So, just a quiet life for our Guy this year then."
Product Information
Except for one summer spent sleeping inside a truck in a concrete yard in Northern Ireland, Guy Martin has lived within 20 miles of the Grimsby hospital he was born in, on the 4th November 1981. But that hasn't stopped the professional truck mechanic from winning multiple international road races, including eleven Ulster GPs and eight Scarborough Gold Cups, plus scoring fourteen Isle of Man TT podiums. Neither has it prevented him from presenting five critically acclaimed prime-time TV series, being the subject of a BAFTA-nominated documentary or breaking British and World land speed records along the way. Did we mention he's also the author of a phenomenal number one bestselling autobiography? Not bad for a truck fitter.
