2 Ride the World 

'In May 2003, Simon and Lisa Thomas left their UK home on their BMW motorbikes to embark on a journey around the globe. Their aim? To circumnavigate our planet, riding all seven continents, set 4 Guinness Endurance World Records, raise money for 3 charities and fulfill a lifelong dream.

To date, this husband and wife team has traveled 102,000 miles through 58 countries of their planned 122, from the most northerly and southerly points on earth possible by motorcycle. They have navigated their way through some of the World's most inhospitable regions whilst coping with the diversity of extreme weather climates~ Experiencing subzero temperatures when they reached Nordkapp, Norway within the Arctic Circle, and 100,000 miles later when they reached Ushuaia on the southerly tip of South America.

'Highlights' include surviving severe water crisis in Africa, enduring several bouts of Malaria, and Simon suffering a near-fatal accident deep in the Amazon Rain Forest. He and his BMW R1100GS fell headlong from a rotting bridge. After repairing his badly damaged motorcycle and riding the most painful and grueling 23-days of his life, Simon reached medical assistance and a surprising diagnosis. A broken neck! Following emergency surgery Simon has gone onto a full recovery. These are just some of the challenges they have faced and continue to overcome.

As their adventure continues the couple is using their project as a catalyst to raise urgently needed funds and awareness for 3 specific charitable organizations performing crucial work and in real need of support. Money raised via company donations and. through their popular web site goes directly to World Water Aid, The British Heart Foundation and Cancer BACUP, who all perform work which impacts lives directly in their own country and around the World.

Today their travels find them within the USA .On October 4 Bloodworth Motorcycles was priviledged to host their multi media presentation - a diverse mix of still photography, music and video that tells the story of their journey. We wish our friends well and look forward to seeing where their travels will take them in the future!

Lisa and SImon's journey depends on financial support from the people who appreciate what they have accomplished. To learn more or to make a contribution,  check their website at http://www.2ridetheworld.com
