FRANCE (Web Desk) - A team of French cyclists broke the world record for largest GPS drawing when they created an image of a velociraptor measuring 636 miles.

Florent Arnaud, Maxime Brugère, Franck Delorme, Nicolas Meunier and Jean Roule created the GPS image by riding for a total 43 hours and 47 minutes over the source of six days.

The cyclists, members of the Cyclos randonneurs Saint-Galmier bicycle group, passed through counties including Cher, Saône-et-Loire, Indre, Nievre, Creuse and Puy-de-Dome to create the dinosaur image.

The team said they chose a velociraptor for the image because it sounds like "vélo," the French word for bicycle.
