Www.dereksbiketrip.com. Cycling The 6. Because It Is There: A Zero Emissions Odyssey. The Big Africa Cycle - from the UK to Cape Town. Home Welcome to The Big Africa Cycle website. My name is Peter Gostelow and in August 2009 I left England to cycle to Cape Town. Almost 3 years later, having cycled more than 34,000km through 30 countries, I finally finished. This was my second major solo bicycle adventure. Between 2005-2008 I cycled from Japan-England, a journey of 50,000km.
The blog posts in this website tell some of the stories from my time on the road. I returned to Africa in May 2013 and am living in Mwanza, Tanzania, working as a teacher trainer. Although the cycling aspect of this journey is over, I will provide content in the months ahead, with blog posts and updates to some of the other pages on the site.
