Former world junior rowing champion, Louis Margot from Vaud has set himself the craziest of challenges: circumnavigating the globe by bicycle and rowing. 50,000 km from Morges to… Morges.

How are the craziest projects born? For Louis Margot, it germinated on his return from a 3000 km bicycle trip which had taken him six years ago to Istanbul. “I felt so alive. I then thought of doing something that goes beyond man. In order to go beyond myself…” It will be a circumnavigation of the world by human power, carried out from east to west, with muscle power as the only driving force, more than 50,000 km by bicycle and rowing on five continents and in more than 30 countries. Listed in Guinness, the current record is five years and eleven days.
