The inspiring story of one man's record-breaking cycle around the
world. On Monday 18th September 2017, Mark Beaumont pedalled
through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. 78 days, 14 hours and 40
minutes earlier he set off from the same point, beginning his
attempt to circumnavigate the world in record time. Covering more
than 18,000 miles and cycling through some of the harshest
conditions one man and his bicycle can endure, Mark made history.
He smashed two Guinness World Records and beat the previous record
by an astonishing 45 days. Around the World in 80 Days is the story
of Mark's amazing achievement - one which redefines the limits of
human endurance. It is also an insight into the mind of an elite
athlete and the physical limits of the human body, as well as a
kaleidoscopic tour of the world from a very unique perspective;
inspired by Jules Verne's classic adventure novel, Mark begins his
journey in Paris and cycles through Europe, Russia, Mongolia and
China. He then crosses Australia, rides up through New Zealand and
across North America before the final 'sprint finish' thorough
Portugal, Spain and France, all at over 200 miles a day. This is
the story of a quite remarkable adventure, by a quite remarkable
man.
