- Description: Pat Garrod is a British physician and long-distance motorcyclist. Between 1998 and October 2002, he and his wife Vanessa Lewis completed a 160,000 km (100,000 miles) round-the-world ride on a 1991 BMW R100GS. After the circumnavigation, the couple crossed Africa twice more by motorcycle; one north-to-south traversal in 2006 covered more than 20,000 km (12,000 miles), and Garrod's travel log records over 105,000 km (65,000 miles) ridden in Africa alone. He recounted the four-year circumnavigation in his 2010 book Bearback - The World Overland
