Scotsman sets new round the world cycling record
Made it! Scots cyclist Mark Beaumont sets round-the-world record - Scotsman.com

SCOTS cyclist Mark Beaumont today completed his record-breaking challenge to become the fastest person to cycle around the world.
Mr Beaumont, 25, has circumnavigated the globe by bike in 195 days and six hours – smashing the current record of 276 days.

He was reunited with his family today when he crossed the finish line at 2.30pm British time at the Arc the Triomphe in Paris – the city where he started his epic bid nearly seven months ago.

Guinness World Records said Mr Beaumont's record still had to be officially verified.

He has received messages of congratulation from Prince William and Olympic cyclist Chris Hoy.

Mr Beaumont, an economics and politics graduate from Newburgh in Fife said: "I'm delighted, although I think it will take a while for it to sink in.

"It's great to see my friends and family and now I'm looking forward to getting some sleep.
