World's First Cycle Trip To the South Pole Achieved

Posted by samzenpus on Monday December 30, 2013 @05:13AM from the mountain-bikes-of-madness dept.

Zothecula writes "Shortly before Christmas, we heard about 35 year-old British adventurer Maria Leijerstam's planned attempt to ride to the South Pole on a recumbent fat-tired tricycle. On December 27th at 1am GMT, she achieved that goal, becoming the first person to ever successfully cycle from the edge of the Antarctic continent to the Pole."
