It involved cycling a total of 29,000 km in 159 days, pedalling over 300 km a day, spanning 14 countries.[1][10][11] Some hurdles she faced along the journey involved being chased by a grizzly bear in Canada, camping alone for multiple nights in the Russian snow, and being robbed at knife-point in Spain.
