This week in cycling history…
Maria Leijerstam arrived on 27 December 2013 at the South Pole, and was the first person to cycle across Antarctica, taking 10 days to reach her destination and setting a human powered speed record using a special polar cycle. The British-Swedish rider cycled for 10 to 17 hours each day with no rest days, clocking up a total distance of 640 km. Employing a lot of hypnotherapy to get through the challenging weather condition, the knee pain from over-cycling and the loneliness of the trip, she managed to complete this incredible feat of skill and endurance on her three wheeled bike.
