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.
