The Women Riders World Relay (WRWR) – an official Guinness Book of Records event – revved into Jeffreys Bay earlier this month in a bid to ignite a global sisterhood of inspirational women to promote courage, adventure, unity and passion for biking from all corners of the world and do something that’s never been done before to this scale. From Scotland, the relay – started in Scotland in February 2019 – covered the British Isles, before crossing into France and zig-zagging across Europe. After that, they headed North into the Nordic countries, then East across India, and then onto Thailand, Indonesia and Australia. From there, it puddle-hopped to Canada, and worked its way down through North and South America. In January, it’ll cross over from Brazil to South Africa, before working its way up through Africa. Some 157 women have already signed up to ride the South African leg, with Rialette van Niekerk (middle) acting as the country’s ambassador for the event.
