Mark Beaumont has broken the world record for cycling around the world ‑ by 44 days.
The 34‑year‑old who is from Scotland arrived in Paris one day ahead of schedule having cycled the 18,000‑mile route in 79 days.
He set a new world record of 194 days in 2008.
Since then it has been broken by other riders, with the previous record set at 123 days.
To achieve his goal, Mark needed to cycle an average 240 miles a day.
He was on his bike for more than 16 hours a day and only slept for five hours each night.
He began his journey in Paris on 2 July and cycled through Europe, Russia, Mongolia and China.
He then cycled across Australia, up through New Zealand and across North America before the final "sprint finish" thorough Portugal, Spain and France.
During the trip, Mark was also awarded the Guinness World Records title for the most miles cycled in a month, from Paris to Perth in Australia, verified at 11,315km.
