In the UK, there is a popular route for cyclists: the road from Land's End in England to John O'Groats in Scotland, about 874 miles long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12­year­old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route.

Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. "It was much harder than I thought. I wasn't expecting so many hills and how busy the roads were," Chandler said. "But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it."

Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father's 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey.

During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train, a children's organization that pays for treatment for children in developing countries who have deft lips (兔唇).
