Record Cycle Ride in Fiji

1 September 2013  

New Zealand cyclist, Andrew Jameson, successfully rode a complete circuit of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island, in 24 hours, creating an unofficial record.

Daniel Hochuli let us know about this great achievement, along with a link to a fully illustrated account. He wrote:

"My name is Daniel and I am promoting Fijian Tourism.

I have an infographic that I would like to share with you for your website.

Fiji's official airline,  Fiji Airways, picked up the story and the infographic on their blog, which you can read here:

Andrew covered the same route we cycled in February 2001, albeit we took 6 days and enjoyed the view and the friendly greetings and conversations along the way. This was a stopover between Auckland and Los Angeles during our one-year, 12086-mile (19340-km) ride round the world.
