Krátky popis
In the spring of 2015, Mark Beaumont set out from the bustling
heart of Cairo on his latest world record attempt - solo, the
length of Africa, intending to ride to Cape Town in under 50 days.
Seven years since he smashed the world record for cycling round the
world, this would be his toughest trip yet. And he would set a new
mark that would simply break the limits of endurance.Despite
illness, mechanical faults, attempted robbery and stone-throwing
children, as well as dehydration in the deserts and unprecedented
levels of exhaustion, Mark completed the journey in just 41 days,
10 hours and 22 minutes, after cycling 6,762 miles, spending 439
hours in the saddle (sometimes up to 16 hours a day) and climbing
190,355 feet through 8 countries. It was an astonishing journey,
and one that will fascinate and grip the reader.From the obvious
dangers of Egypt, Sudan and Kenya, over the unpaved, muddy,
mountainous roads of Ethiopia, through the beautiful grasslands of
Tanzania and Zambia, to riding at night in Botswana in the company
of elephants and giraffes, Mark brings Africa to life in all its
complex glory, friendship and curiosity, while inspiring us all to
question the bounds of what is possible.
