The inspiring story of one young man's record-breaking solo cycle
journey around the world On 15 February 2008, Mark Beaumont
pedalled through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. 194 days and 17
hours previously, he had begun his attempt to circumnavigate the
world in record time. Mark smashed the Guinness World Record by an
astonishing 81 days. He had travelled more than 18,000 miles on his
own through some of the harshest conditions one man and his bicycle
can endure, camping wild at night and suffering from constant
ailments. The Man Who Cycled the World is the story not just of
that amazing achievement, but of the events that turned Mark
Beaumont into the man he is today. From the early years of his
free-spirited childhood in the Scottish countryside to present day,
he has been equally determined not to settle for an average
existence, but to break free and follow his dreams. Mark Beaumont
grew up in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands. When he was
twelve, he cycled across Scotland, then a few years later,
completed the 1,000 mile solo ride across Britain from John
O'Groats to Land's End. His next long-distance ride took him the
length of Italy, a journey of 1,336 miles, helping to raise
GBP50,000 for charity. After graduating from Glasgow University,
and having also qualified as a professional ski instructor, he
decided against a conventional career and devoted himself full-time
to raising money for his endurance adventures. Visit his website at
