On the 10th/11th/12th August 1992 Ralph Dadswell broke the RRA trike record for the British "End to End" - Land's End to John O'Groats.

This account was written by Ralph for publication in various cycling club newsletters and for distribution to friends. It has been updated and reformatted here in December 1996.
