While most people relax for their 65th birthday, Arvid Loewen is attempting to break another cycling world record.
"This year I will attempting to break the 10,000 km Guinness World Record for somebody to ride this in the fastest and shortest time possible," says Loewen.
The previous record-holder was set by Guus Moonen from the Netherlands in 2010, when he cycled 10,000 km in 22 days, 15 hours and 34 minutes. This will actually be Loewen's second attempt at this particular GWR as the first time he tried breaking this it was in 2014. Loewen made it halfway before calling it quits.
