“I really just love travelling by bike. It gives an incredible connection with people and the land.”
Kate Leeming

This is the teaser for a 4×60 min TV series about my recent Breaking the Cycle Across Australia expedition.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR INVESTORS

Synopsis: Explorer and expedition cyclist, Kate Leeming faced continual curveballs – a broken collarbone, widespread unseasonal flooding, major mechanical breakdowns, extreme weather, rough tracks, faint paths, COVID-19 interstate border closures and exhaustion – to make what is probably the first fatbike journey from Australia’s most easterly point, Cape Byron, to its most westerly, Steep Point.

Completed on 19th September 2023, Kate’s voyage of discovery, 8617km through the rugged interior, was to gain a close, grounded perspective of the outback while connecting with and listening to the stories and aspirations of First Nations elders and their remote communities.

Kate Leeming

Explorer/adventurer. Kate has cycled a distance greater than twice around the world at the Equator. In the early ’90s when she rode a total of 15,000 km as her way of experiencing Europe, Kate developed her passion for travelling by bicycle. Since then, Kate has stepped it up, performing three major expeditions: the Trans-Siberian Cycle Expedition from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, the Great Australian Cycle Expedition with Greg Yeoman and the Breaking the Cycle in Africa expedition from Senegal to Somalia. Her next venture is Breaking the Cycle South Pole, which will be the first bicycle crossing of the Antarctic continent via the South Pole. She is preparing for this challenge with expeditions (polar, sand, altitude) on six continents.
