Great Western Runners chairman Mike Willcox has completed his gruelling bike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats.

Willcox wheeled across the finish line on Sunday to complete the 942-mile slog in 11 days. He said: "I am really pleased with that. I rode for 10 whole days and two half-days to complete the course doing around 80-90 miles a day.

"From what I gather the average time to complete the ride is 14-18 days so to do it in 11 is very satisfying."

Willcox said he will continue to ride to supplement his running training having discover that it has helped to reduce his injuries.

"But I'm having a rest first!" added Willcox.
