Long time Wheelers workshop attendee, Kumi, has set off on an epic journey riding to Cape Town.

Kumi has been on several touring adventures before including crossing Turkey. This time she and her fellow adventurer Dan aim to cycle around 1700km per month, hoping to arrive in August 2013. You can follow their journey at london2capetown.net where they are posting updates as often as they can.

They are also looking to use the ride as a means of raising money for St Catherine's Hospice. Visit their donation page for full details.

Good luck to them both from all of us at Tower Hamlets Wheelers.
