Riding Through Africa - Lois Pryce

[boconcepts]

Legend!

[Metalmiltia]

Lois is cool!

[kenmorgan1984]

Tiffany Coates is a MUCH harder female rider, having done everything Mondo Enduro has done and then some .

Though Tiffany and Lois are actually good friends , I met Tiffany in Russia on her Mongolian mayhem tour Lois was going to come too but pulled out at the last minute.

Tiffany is still out there in Japan enroute to LA.

@kenmorgan1984 You seem to be missing the point - Lois and Austin's message is NOT that you have to be hard (whatever that means) to do these trips BUT that anyone can do them - you just need to get out there and start.

[kenmorgan1984]

I'm not missing the point in that Lois's trips both of them have been heavily supported almost always finding another rider to acompany her. Which gives the impression you can't just go out there and do it, tiffany though did just go out there and do it completely unsupported it is only the last couple of years after her biggest trips that she has gotten support.

I loved her book lois on the loose when i bought the book i was drawn by the picture on on the front "A girl going from alaska to argentina on a bike" ....You gotta be joking on a serow?? and she did! loved it looking forward to red tape!

Great books. Also love her husband's work (Austin Vince) - his dvd "Terra Circa" about a London to New York bike trip is worth checking out.

loved her books also! i was thrilled when she actually answered my email!

[robinphillips]

Yeh, i got an email from her too when i ordered her books. Shes going across america or somthing in a sidecar this summer.

[ManOfMeans]

She's got quite an interesting accent. It was a little hard to follow her at first... She's got some stories to tell!

[cmblake1967]

Atlas, thanks for sharing this.

I read her first book a year or two ago, very inspiring. Don't know if I will ever be able to do a trip like hers, but it is fun to read them. Good luck with your adventure!

[AtlasRider]

They're very good. I really enjoyed them.

[robinphillips]

[AtlasRider]

The Motorcycle Adventure Handbook is a great resource. I learned a lot of useful info from there.

[robinphillips]

It's in a parcel on the way to me now ;-)(thanks mum for saving me the postage)

[SpacedTime]

What does she ride?

[AtlasRider]

She rode a XT225 during her trip through the Americas and a TTR250 for her Africa trip. Both small trail bikes.

The end-parenthesis around the loisontheloose link in the info box is hypertexted like the link to her page. Clicking on it causes "The page cannot be found" window to pop up. Just a heads up if u want to fix it, or if someone wants to visit her page.

[AtlasRider]

Thanks for the heads up. Fixed.
