A Dumfriesshire man who was trying to cycle around the world in fewer than 100 days has abandoned his world record attempt.
According to a post on the Lap the Planet Facebook page, Peter Smith, 51, was forced to quit the challenge after suffering an equipment failure in China.
His wife, Nicola, wrote: “Unsurprisingly, he is bitterly disappointed and feels like he has let you all down but as we don’t do moping in our house, he is already thinking of how to salvage something meaningful from this mammoth endeavour.”
