Freedom rider is an adventure in extreme endurance sport, as well
as an inquiry into the unique story of our fascinating country.
When journalist Kevin Davie started riding his mountain bike in
remote, wide-open South African spaces he found himself on a 10 000
km journey that tested his courage and determination through
blizzards, lightning and hail storms as well as forty degree heat,
forging new trails through rocky and mountainous terrain. On his
journey, Kevin completed the Freedom Challenge, the Spine (the
Drakensberg from end to end), the Ride to Rhodes and the Ganna
(Beitbridge to Cape Town). This is riding minimalism, the rider
carrying all his requirements without any back-up vehicle. Two of
the longest rides, 5 000 kms in all, are ridden solo. This is his
story - why athletes push themselves to rise to the challenge of
extreme sport - as well as an account of the country and the
incredible warmth and support from locals who reach out to help in
so many ways.
