Arvid Loewen is a 63-year-old grandpa in his 24th day of breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled in one month cycling.
The current record was set in 2017 for over 11,000 kms. But this isn’t Arvid’s first cycling record either. In 2011, Arvid cycled across the nation in 13 days, 6 hours and 13 minutes and he still holds that Guinness World Record.
In an update he gave us today, Arvid said, “I’m hanging in there. Every day is a challenge, but so far I’m ahead of record base so if I keep doing what I’m doing, then that would be good. It’s gone very much as I expected, lots of lows, lots of highs, but we’re still on the road every day.”
