Before approx. 2 1/2 years we thought to met a madman - Horst Schad - what he wanted to do is nothing fewer then to put back in these 2 1/2 years WITH the BICYCLE 60,000 km across 28 countries and to arrive to the Olympiade 2000 in Sydney punctually. After the arrival we changed our opinion regarding "madly" :-) It was unbelievable: He crossed the Himalaya and cycled through Kazakhstan - infinite strains and unestimateable dangers. He met the Pope, become to know the Dalai Lama and appointed by the city Olympia the official olympia Ambassador. The satellite telephone sponsored by GESAT made it always possible to phone at home, which in view of the route described above was indispensable. We are proud on him and wait with bated breath for the publication of his book, which surely full unbelievable pictures and experiences will be.
