About Me

Leana Niemand: Born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2005, I took part in what was known as the longest MTB race in the world, the Tour D’Afrique, a race from Cairo to Cape Town. I bought a bicycle, flew to Cairo, and had no idea what I was letting myself in for. To my surprise, I cycled every inch of the way to Cape Town. On my return, I found it surprisingly hard to get back into regular life and decided to sell up and hit the road. I left Cape Town at the end of March 2007 in the company of, Ernest Markwood. What was intended as a long cycle ride became an “around-the-world” cycling adventure. In the beginning, the two of us cycled together most of the time. Eventually, we each found our own pace and direction in life and on the road. Here I am, amazingly 13 years later, and still going, and most of all, still loving it. I have no route plan, no sponsor, no goal, no mission of any sort. I just go wherever the wind blows me.
