92 days actually, a new record for biking around the world:

The record required that he travel 25,000 miles, and bike at least 18,000 of them. He did, at an average of over 200 miles a day on the bike, through 20 countries. Imagine doing double centuries day after day.
He carried only 35 lbs of gear compared to over 60 for other record-seekers. It would be interesting to see an analysis of all his equipment.
