When Henry sent an email asking his friend about joining him to finally take that trip they’ve been talking about, it took less than 24 hours for his friend to respond with a “yes”. Little did they know the media sensation that would soon create enough interest for over 30 people to join them on a bicycle tour from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa. Not only would this journey achieve a Guinness World Record for the fastest human-powered crossing of Africa, but would also lay the foundation of what is now TDA Global Cycling, of which Henry is the Founder and Director. To date, over 1,600 people have completed the Tour d’ Afrique, as it’s now known. If you’d like to find out more about Henry, TDA Global Cycling, their trips, etc. Go to tdaglobalcycling.comInstagram: @tdacyclingFacebook: @tdaglobalcycling Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In 1928 a group of five Black women set off on an unforgettable journey to bicycle 250 miles from Harlem to Washington D.C. in just 65 hours. For the next three days Marylou Jackson, Velma Jackson, Ethyl Miller, Leolya Nelson, and Constance White would pedal their bicycles 110 miles on day one, 40 miles on day two, and finish the experience with one more 100-mile push. When asked, by the one newspaper that wrote about the story, about what motivated this journey they responded by saying, “the love of the great-out-of-doors”. Even though the journey was most likely unforgettable to them, history didn’t seem to take note of their ground-breaking experience for women and Black cyclists nearly a century ago. That is, until historian Marya McQuirter, found the picture and newspaper article in the mid-1990s and was immediately compelled to spread the word about this great accomplishment. Fast forward to May of 2021 where the legacy continues. Daniela Ochoa Diaz, an Athletic Brewing Ambassador, joined four other women to recreate the journey nearly 100 years later. Today Daniela will tell us the story of that ride, how it went, and where the legacy goes from here. Find out more about Daniela here @tiempoferpectoFind out more about Major Knox Adventures, the organizer of the recreation of the 1928 Legacy Tour here: @majorknoxadventuresTo learn more about my other show, Without Compromise, and Athletic Brewing’s award-winning non-alcoholic craft beer, go to AthleticBrewing.com.Is the price of gear holding you back from going on your next adventure or have extra gear you don’t need?

Oftentimes the best adventures are not in the most well-known places or in the most dramatic of sceneries. Hidden gems of adventure are all around us. In fact, as we say on this show, adventure is anywhere you are. Alexandre had his sights set on Turkey, a country he had longed to visit. Little did he know, the adjacent and lesser-traveled country of Georgia would quickly become one of his favorite places in his more than seven-year full-time travel adventure. Support Adventure Sports Podcast monthly by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast or make a one-time donation to the show here.
