‘Mark Beaumont: #AfricaSolo’ will be hosted by the festival this Friday 26th June at George Square Lecture Theatre in Edinburgh, starting at 7:00pm.
This is the first chance to hear from ‘the Man who Cycled the World’ about his self-supported bike ride, setting a new Guinness World Record of 41 days 10 hours and 22 minutes for cycling 6718 miles, the length of Africa.
Mark left Cairo Tower on April 10th and finished at Mouillie Point, Cape Town on May 21st after cycling an average of 160 miles a day on his KOGA Solacio Disc road bike, taking over 17 days off the old record. This now brings the total number of countries he has visited in all his expeditions to 40.
Tickets for his talk are available at £13.50 for adults or £12.50 for concessions at www.edfoc.org.uk/events/event/mark-beaumont-africa-solo/ , or on the door if not sold out in advance.
The talk brings a successful Edinburgh Festival of Cycling to a close, which has attracted a great variety of audiences at a variety of events over the last two weeks.
