RideHimalaya Profile
Krista Bernard
My passion for long distance cycling started in my early 20’s, when I cycled down Australia’s East Coast, around Tasmania, and across the grand and harsh Nullarbor and Central Deserts.
My first international trip was a 15,000 kilometre solo cycle from Indonesia to Egypt.
You can view a slideshow, see a route map and find out more about my previous rides on the kristabike page.
During this ride from London to Lhasa, I am reminded of how great it is to travel vast distances purely with my own energy, strength and willpower. I am also constantly heartened and blessed by the people we meet along the way.

As a lover of sport and nature,
I am relishing the thought of spending every day of the next couple of year outdoors. The journey will challenge us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, yet through it, we will be rewarded with great learning and cultural experiences.

For me, the journey represents freedom. It is a time to share something magical and unique with Krista. This expedition is a way of truly experiencing all that lies between London and Lhasa.
