Riding Against the Odds: Elspeth Beard’s 35,000-Mile Motorcycle Odyssey
This Break/Fix episode features British adventurer and motorcyclist Elspeth Beard, who became one of the first British women to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle in the early 1980s. The journey started in 1982 when Elspeth was 23 after graduating from architecture school. Spanning three years and covering 35,000 miles, she traveled across various continents facing numerous challenges, including breakdowns, injuries, and illnesses. Her story of resilience and adventure is shared with the help of Jeff Willis, a returning guest who interviewed Elspeth for his book 'Human in the Machine.' The podcast delves into her early inspirations, the impact of her upbringing, the various encounters and challenges during her travels, and her life post-adventure. The episode emphasizes the importance of persistence, adaptability, and the supportive community of motorcyclists. Listeners are encouraged to learn more about Elspeth's journey through her award-winning book 'Lone Rider' and other resources available on her website and social media.
