He rode on through the winter to complete an astounding 75,065 miles in the year. Still that was not enough; in May 1940 after five hundred days of riding he secured the 100,000 mile record as well. Tommy dismounted his bike and spent weeks learning how to walk again before going off to war.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv6635xfzV1qackd0o1_500.jpg)
