James is home!

James Bowthorpe arrives back in Hyde Park, London, having broken the world record for cycling around the world.
James made it back to where he started, the band shell in Hyde Park, today. He beat the record for round-the-world cycling. He is fast!

I cycled with him the last little bit from Richmond Park, but my bike imploded 1/2 mile away from the bandstand and I missed the actual moment. I showed up a few minutes later covered in bike grease and saw him drinking champagne though so it was still pretty exciting.
