In May 2003, long before ‘riding the world’ became fashionable, Simon and Lisa Thomas left their quite lives in the UK and set out on their two BMW motorcycles to journey around the globe. Their aim was to circumnavigate the planet, ride on all seven continents, set 5 Guinness Endurance World Records and raise money for 3 charities and in so doing, fulfill a lifelong dream. Eleven years later and they haven’t stopped riding!

 

To date, this husband and wife team have travelled over 368,000-miles (equivalent 14+ times around the earth) ridden through 78 countries, and travelled to the most northerly and southerly points on earth possible by motorcycle.

 

As motorcycle adventurers Simon & Lisa are known for pushing the boundaries and have forged several route-first’s. Lisa is considered the world’s foremost female motorcycling adventurer, having ridden longer and farther than any other female motorcyclist in history. Lisa was the first female motorcyclist to ride through the Amazon jungle north to south. In 2008, the 2 Ride The World duo were named as BMW Brand Ambassadors. WEBSITE: www.2ridetheworld.com
