Ryder Patrice and Françoise (w3128)
- Description: Patrice and Françoise Ryder set off on a tandem journey around the world on October 4, 1978. They say goodbye to their family in Paris, on the Champs-Élysées, and begin pedaling eastward. They cross Switzerland, northern Italy, and head down the Yugoslav coast, but mechanical issues and bad weather force them to stop in Dubrovnik for Christmas. From there, they decide to take a ferry to Greece to avoid the snow in Montenegro. They pass through Corfu, reach Athens, and then fly to Israel. Unable to cross Jordan, Iraq, and Iran due to political reasons, they fly to Cyprus and then on to Pakistan. In Karachi, a new chapter of their journey begins: Asia. From Lahore, they cycle to New Delhi and, on September 22, 1979, they cross the Himalayas to enter Nepal. They reach Kathmandu and later fly to Bangkok. After a second trip through Thailand, they continue by bike toward the Cambodian border, but the Khmer Rouge crisis forces them to change course. They head south and, in June 1980, enter Malaysia and then Singapore. They fly to Darwin, Australia, to begin a new leg of the journey: crossing the continent from north to south while raising funds for charity. They sleep in the bush, marvel at the endless Australian landscapes and the country’s natural beauty. The article published in 1981 in the Australian magazine Trochos reflects on their journey after 900 days on the road and 18'300 kilometers traveled
