About oliMoto

Our Mission

Our aim is to attempt a world record by riding around the globe in 2027. The adventure will be undertaken by Oli Purkis with his father Joe riding with him as support and camera crew. 

We will also be raising money and promoting our chosen charity. More on this to follow as our plans take shape.

4 Continents

20 Countries

19,000 miles

Expedition objectives (shamelessly stolen from Scottish cycling Superhero Jenny Graham's book - First Coffee Then The World):

1. Return safely

2. Ride around the World

3. Achieve a Guinness World Record
