Mark Beaumont – Africa Solo

Mark has spent the last decade taking on world records and world firsts in ultra-endurance. Best known as a cyclist, he circumnavigated the globe, taking a staggering 82 days off the previous time, pedalled the length of the Americas and recently smashed the Cairo to Cape Town record.

Africa Solo is a story of extreme endurance, through deserts, across mountains and vast savannah. But most of all it is a story about people - his team back in the UK and the incredible people of Africa, who made this journey possible. It is a tough, sobering but heart-warming account of a continent that is often portrayed for the wrong reasons. And Mark's unwavering ambition to find his personal best, to push his limits and set down unbreakable World Records.

Off the bike, Mark has filmed numerous BBC documentaries, presented for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and written two best-selling books.
