Today's honors in my 31 Days of Women in Motorcycling goes to Lois Pryce. She says, "I can't quite remember how it all started, but back in 2000 the combination of itchy feet and a recently acquired motorcycle licence had put ideas in my head. Initial investigations soon pointed me firmly in the direction of Chris Scott's Adventure Motorcycling Handbook and thus, my plan to motorcycle from Alaska to the tip of South America was born." And subsequently, Lois Pryce's Lois on the Loose adventure travel book about her epic solo journey on a 250cc motorcycle. Not content to stop there, she later made another from her native London to Cape Town, yeah, as in Africa, through places like the Congo. Eeks. Red Tape and White Knuckles is funny, chilling, inspiring!
Lois is still thrillseeking, these days with her husband Austin Vince of Mondo Enduro fame on a Ural sidecar motorcycle.
Lois has also partnered with Horizons Unlimited, the motorcycle adventure travel resource people, to create a Ladies on the Loose video interviewing many women who are adventuring around the globe.
