World’s largest GPS penis traced across Bannau Brycheiniog for charity (www.theguardian.com)

A record-breaking 75-mile GPS image of a penis has been scrawled across south Wales on the exercise app Strava to raise money for charity.

The outline of the male genitalia – drawn by the on-foot journey of Terry Rosoman – stretches from Hay-on-Wye to Abergavenny via a double circuitous route taking in Crickhowell and Llangenny.

It was completed in less than 24 hours by Rosoman, 38, a marketing director from south Wales, to raise money and awareness about men’s mental health issues for Movember.

He said he chose to run the giant phallus to help gain the attention of his “target demographic”. He claimed most men find the shape “hilarious”.

Only 75 miles? Not even an imperial century.

Edit: sounds like it was done on-foot instead of cycling, but claiming it's the biggest is a good way to get someone to do a cycling route bigger in a few hours.

The record is for World's Largest GPS Cock & Balls Drawing on Foot, by an individual in a single attempt. So no cycling.

What makes it even more impressive is the elevation because he went from the lower landscape up to the heights of the Brecon Beacons (four Snowdon's worth). Which is brutal. I know the area well and the hills aren't easy even in a car.

So it would be possible to draw a larger one in the same time if you planned the route on the level but he is raising money for charity so it had to have more of a challenge.
