Those close to me know that I value grit and perseverance.
I like this story about a 20-year-old university student who cycled (solo) home from Aberdeen, Scotland to Athens, Greece. He was motivated by the goal of not being socially isolated in Scotland during border closures and travel restrictions by air and rail.
The going was not easy, particularly early on, but grit prevailed.
This reminded me of a story about a gent who traveled from Cairo to Capetown by bicycle, summarized here.
Neither of these bicycle journeys are small accomplishments.
