cycling around the world

A British adventurer and endurance athlete will test the durability of the human body and mind when he attempts to cycle around the world in 80 days.
His plan is to spend 75 days in the saddle, leaving three days for flights and a couple of contingency days in case something goes wrong.
Beaumont launched his project in London on Sunday, and on Monday is setting off on a practice ride – 3,500 miles around the British coast at “80 days” pace ahead of the circumnavigation attempt in July.
