What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the ingredients that make an epic adventure? George Mahood's adventure took shape during a night at the pub when he and his buddy devised a plan to cycle the full length of Great Britain with nothing but their underwear- no clothes, no money, and no bike! If that’s not epic, I don’t know what is! If you’re curious about what it takes to have once in a lifetime experience centered around the generosity of strangers, then you don’t want to miss this week’s episode.
