Previous Trips
Article in the Star newspaper March 2008 I launched in cycling solo from Johannesburg to Cape Town. What a journey!!! Many disputes arose as to whether I would make it. Concerned friends tried advising me against taking on the trip. Two weeks later, I cycled into Cape Town on my bicycle!!! As awareness around what I was doing and on what I plan on doing grew, the response really knocked me out. People from all over the country started contributing in ways of funding, gear, goods etc. I've been asked a number of times whether I was ever scared? :) I can honestly say that there was not even a second in that two week period where I felt endangered in any way. Even with cars pulling over on the road, people always just wanted to know who I was, where I was going and whether I needed any help? South Africans are actually very caring and very colorful people.

The Challenge
The Challenge: Cycling solo from Johannesburg to Cape Town and then circumnavigating South Africa in an attempt to raise enough awareness and funds to live my dream of becoming the first woman in history to circumnavigate the entire African continent on a bicycle. What makes it a challenge: Appart from being a woman cycling on her own without any backup support, I have absolutely no funds and very little gear to start with. The idea is to rely on my fellow South Africans to support my dream and help me around SA through helping out with accommodation, food, supplies and funds.
