  Why are you doing it? Why did you do it? Everyone asks the same question and I give a different answer every time:adventure(冒險(xiǎn)), travel, time for thought, solitude(獨(dú)處), challenge(挑戰(zhàn)), curiosity(好奇), historical research, freedom, fun…all are true and good enough reasons.But why go round the world? And why on a bicycle?

  For many years I was the headmistress of a private school for girls in the south of England.In January 1983, when I was fifty years old, I was on holiday with two friends in India.One day I looked out of the bus window and saw a cyclist, a solitary European man, riding across the Great Thar Desert.And I was filled with envy.I wanted to be out there myself on that road on a bicycle, alone and free, feeling the reality of India, not looking at it through a pane of glass.I was not athletic.I was not young.I wasn't a keen cyclist and I didn't even have a bike.I had no idea how to mend a puncture.I hated camping, picnics and discomfort.In fact, my qualifications for a long cycle ride were very poor.But it was the bicycle which had immediate appeal.
