Defying Limits. One Leg. 2,500 Miles. Route 66 Challenge.

June 19, 2026 2 min read


Meet former Royal Marines Commando Aaron Moon, who has already survived more than most people face in a lifetime.

After losing his leg in Afghanistan, Aaron rebuilt his life through grit and purpose, becoming a PGA professional golfer, the world’s first amputee indoor skydiving instructor, and even a Hunter on Channel 4’s award-winning show Hunted.

Aaron is now taking on one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges - cycling the full 2,517 miles of Route 66, with no rest days.

Preparing for a challenge of this scale demands relentless physical and mental training. Using a Wattbike Atom as a key part of his preparation, Aaron is building the endurance, strength, and resilience needed to take on America’s most iconic road.

This is more than a ride. It’s a story about resilience, mindset, and proving that adversity does not define you.

Through pain, recovery, and relentless determination, Aaron is showing what’s possible when you refuse to give up - and how the right training can help push beyond perceived limits.

Arron said, “This ride is more than a physical challenge, it’s a statement of resilience and possibility. After losing my leg in Afghanistan and facing a life-threatening blood clot this year, I’ve committed myself to proving that the mind is stronger than any adversity. To prepare, I’ve been training daily, pushing through pain, adapting to limits, and shaping a narrative that says: don’t stop when you fall. Every mile, every pedal stroke, every dawn wake-up builds toward the moment I’ll launch from Chicago. This is Route 66, 2,517 miles in 24 days, no rest and I want people to see that if I can do this, maybe they can too.”
