Peter Langford is my wife's 90 year old Grandad, a retired vicar and a world class cyclist..?
I followed him for his final 3 days of his Lands' End to John O'Groats challenge as he attempted to become the oldest person to ever cycle the length of Britain - all in aid of 2 homeless charities.

We helped him out in Dunkeld at our shop! We gave him free labour and a nice lady in a cafe paid for the small parts. Got him going again after a coffee and cake :-)

The most frequent word in the comments was “ amazing “ but I am not amazed by the younger Social Media self gratification, narcisstic individuals. This was a lesson in life, love and giving service to others…the human touch that most of humanity has lost. Well done old man ! I am only 72 years old.

@Biking360 9 месяцев назад

I'm 62 and did this last year. Watching this has now made me feel young so hats off to Peter for an excellent effort.

@KOL630 9 месяцев назад

What a guy. Huge respect 🙌🏼🙌🏼 This is what keeps you alive. Too many older people stop going out and moving then just slowly ebb away. I hope I can do something like this at his age 💪🏼He looks very young in the face for 90. Remarkable! 😊

@dennisluz6453 9 месяцев назад

I did not see any panniers (saddlebags) on his bike. Overnight stays at inns?

@vincekerrigan8300 9 месяцев назад

What a great achievement. I thought I was doing quite well, but not as well as this, because when I hit 90 I finally succumbed to the hills where I live, and added an e-drive pedal assist kit to my road bike. He is still managing very well without so good for him, may he long continue.

@andrewnorris5415 9 месяцев назад

Great story and video/edit! So touched by the lorry driver giving money. As a cyclist myself I must say it is not that easy as some may think to do this even for a person in their twenties. All people that do this deserve credit and praise, but especially Peter.

This is truly an inspiration to us all!! Proverbs 29:7 God has preserved you for a special purpose, Peter Langford. I donated😊

We cycled past Peter in the highlands whilst also on a LeJog run ourselves; great achievement!

@Psalm12-6KJV 9 месяцев назад

Incredible. When he quotes part of Psalm 142:4 from the Bible, which in full is: I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. Wow, that cut me in the heart that I cried and again when he got on his knees to praise God. I’ve known many homeless people myself who have also become friends - some have also died, 2 this year sadly.

Where there is a will a way opens up. The gentleman was highly motivated for a cause to which he made it all possible with his exemplary ride the length of Britain. Well done sir, well done. Cheers from the USA.

A heart of Gold and as tough as Nails. What a combination. And all on a bog standard bike, not a Battery in sight. Superb effort, well done fella 👍

@ramsden35 9 месяцев назад

Yesterday I had a nasty crash and wrecked my bike. I was feeling really sorry for myself, all the usual “life is unfair” and “why me”. This video has just made me realise I need to “shut up stop moaning” and get on with getting the bike fixed (I’m lucky enough to have the resources to do so) and get back out. Amazing work Peter thank you.

@jeffhildreth9244 9 месяцев назад

Absolutely amazing. Much respect for Peter's family with their assistance, encouragement and obvious love and admiration . Cheers to all those who donated to his cause. Well done Andrew. Extraordinary !! Liked and subscribed. Thanks from Jacksonville, Oregon, USA. I slacked off cycling about 3 years ago but now back on my bikes (I have several) at 77. Peter is my new inspiration ... Keep the rubber side down and motor on.

He really is, thanks for your donation!

@brightondude9327 9 месяцев назад

Great video thank you. I love cycling myself but sometimes I lose the drive to do it for a few weeks. I always love it when I start again. Peter is inspirational for me. If he can do this then a youngster like me in my sixties can also do it.

@genegroover3721 9 месяцев назад

This is inspiring that a 90 year-old would be so altruistic to give of his time and energy for those in need. Thank you vicar Peter for this inspiration. Even more inspiring would be to hear of his walk with Christ through his many years of serving Christ. I hope to hear his testimony of what Christ has done in his life. This is why we are here, to glorify Christ Jesus, whether then we eat or drink or whatever we do, we are to do All for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31.

I'm only 70 and even after 900 miles of cycling that old dude rides far better than I can.

@CameronMcNeishOutdoors 9 месяцев назад

Fo your interest, and for Peter's, Bettyhill is named after Elizabeth the Duchess of Sutherland. She wanted to called the new village, made up of people she had cleared from the hinterland, Elizabeth's Mount but the locals had other ideas and so it became Bettyhill.

@jackieshearer1339 9 месяцев назад

It’s amazing .. I live in Dunnet caithness .. the only thing you didn’t do is you mixed up the places .. you had signs for Barrock which is the about 10 miles from John groats and the sign post for Bettyhill was the opposite direction 1 hr in the car from Thurso

I’m afraid that’ll be a mix up with my editing chronology 😂

Wonderful achievement. I know Peter’s “secret”. ”but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭

@roberterwin2965 9 месяцев назад

What make of bike did he use?

@AndrewRussellFitness 9 месяцев назад

It was a bespoke bike made for him by a local company I believe, not 100% on the company name. He needed extra low gears to get him up the hills!

@grahambarker3845 9 месяцев назад

i was about to ask why that young guy didnt ride with him....but then he made the stupid remark about cycling shorts.....understood....lol.....anyway....grandad did good...what a legend....
