Crash cyclist Josh Quigley is believed to have set a new world record for the greatest distance cycled in a week. The 29-year old, from Livingston, is thought to have broken Australian pro-cyclist Jack Thompson's record by clocking up 2,179.66 miles (3508kms). He did laps of an 80-mile route between Aberdeen and the Cairngorms, finishing at 04:00. He told BBC Scotland it had been the "most intense experience" of his life and that he "couldn't be happier". Guinness World records will have to confirm the record before it can be officially registered. Quigley cycled a daily average of 320 miles and rode 637 miles in the last stretch without sleep. He told BBC Scotland: "On the last day I couldn't even remember what challenge I was doing, I was so confused. "I am really happy to get it finished, it's such a relief, as it's been.
