In case you (like me) didn't know about this amazing bicycle journey/race ...

Mark Beaumont, from Fife, completed the 18,000-mile (~29,000 km) journey in 195
days - beating the previous record of 276 days.

The 25-year-old crossed the finish line at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris at 1430
GMT 15-Feb-08 after an 18,000-mile journey which began on 5 August last year.

Mr Beaumont passed through 20 countries on his way, including Pakistan,
Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and the US.
