The greatest distance ever cycled in a month by a male is 7,104.3 miles (11,433.26 km), achieved by Steven Abraham (UK) with an average of 236.81 miles (381.10 km) per day between 2 September and 1 October 2016. The record was verified by the World UltraCycling Association (previously UltraMarathon Cycling Association).During his year-long attempt, Steven used three touring bikes and cycled several routes around his hometown of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, UK. He beat the previous record of 6,679.8 miles (10,750.10 km) – set by André Goeritz (aka Adze Briscoe Frieze, USA) on 9 June 2016 – clocking up the 7,104.3 miles of his WUCA-verified Highest Monthly Mileage Ridden (HMMR) on open roads and contending with wind, rain, hills, junctions and traffic.On 4 March 2017, Steven started another attempt at the Highest Annual Mileage Ridden (HAMR), two years after he was forced to end his first attempt when he fractured his ankle in a collision with a moped three months into the attempt.The World UltraCycling Association is the leading international organization dedicated to ultracycling. The WUCA governs and certifies record attempts in several categories, including cross-country, cross-state/province as well as fixed-distance attempts (100 miles, 200 miles, 1,000 km) and fixed-time attempts (6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours). Also, the WUCA governs and certifies attempts in two categories called HAMR (Highest Annual Mileage Ridden) and 100,000 Miles, both recognized by Guinness World Records.
