一名英国骑手在不到80天的时间内通过骑单车周游世界,创造了新的世界纪录。
Ultra-endurance cyclist Mark Beaumont rode his bicycle 18,000 miles, across 16 different countries in 78 days, 14 hours and 40 minutes to set the Guinness World Record for fastest circumnavigation by bicycle (male).
耐力骑手马克·博蒙特骑行18000英里,跨越16个不同的国家,在78天,14小时40分钟内创造了以骑自行车(男性)进行最快的环球旅行的吉尼斯世界纪录。
“This has been, without doubt, the most punishing challenge I have ever put my body and mind through,” Beaumont said.
博蒙特说:“毫无疑问,这是我所体验的最严峻的挑战。”
He began the journey in France on July 2 and made his way through frigid sub-zero winters in Australia and New Zealand and the possibility of lingering bad weather in the United States from Hurricane Irma before ending the feat by rolling through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
他于7月2日在法国出发,并在澳大利亚和新西兰经历了寒冷的零度以下的冬天,并且在美国经历了伊拉玛飓这样恶劣的天气,最后在巴黎凯旋门结束了这次骑行。
Beaumont broke the previous world record of 123 days and 43 minutes held by Andrew Nicholson from New Zealand, on the path he dubbed the “Artemis World Cycle.”
博蒙特打破了来自新西兰的安德鲁·尼科尔森(Andrew Nicholson)持有的123天和43分钟的历史世界纪录,他被称为“阿提米斯世界骑行”。
During the journey he also broke a world records for the farthest distance cycled in one month with 7,031 miles.
在旅程中,他还打破了一个月内最长距离骑行的世界纪录,共有7031英里。
“This was a fantastic milestone to achieve during the challenge of getting around the world in eighty days. I hope it is used as a marker for other cyclists to go and smash in the near future,” he said.
他说:“通过挑战80天环球骑行就是一个非凡的里程碑,我希望它可以作为其他骑行者在不久的将来可以打破的记录。”
