How I meet Mark
I was riding with motorbike to my work place.
Suddenly I saw a cyclist coming opposite my direction at road
No.1 Butterworth - Ipoh at 120km to Ipoh. I stop him and talk
to him for a few moment. He is a very nice and friendly guy. I wish
I host him in my house one or two days like other
Visiting Cyclists.
But for him is breaking the world record to complete cycle round the
world before 210 days. The current Guinness World Record for cycling
around the world is 276 days 19 hrs 15 min - just over 9 months.
Mark is planning to smash this by cycling around the globe in under
210 days. This seven month race will include 20 countries through
Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australasia and North America before
finishing from Lisbon, Portugal back to the finish line in Paris. An
hour early I had breakfast with a Ireland cyclist who spend a night
in my house. So I told Mark that there is
Ireland cyclist heading to
Ipoh. And Mark was keen in meeting Aengus Eire. It's normal for
travelers to meet our own country man or someone near our country in
other countries. Hope Mark meets Aengus on the road.
