Travelling solo is an incredibly rewarding experience, but it can be scary to start. I did my first solo bike adventure when I was 21, and while I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and broke down (physically, mechanically, emotionally, etc.)

In my global project to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent, I went back to the Canadian Rockies where I grew up to attempt my fifth journey.

The route was nearly 1000km of incredibly remote backcountry, and I carried everything I needed in my 30L Trailblazer backpack, resupplying every 4-6 days in small towns en route.

"No tienes miedo?" - Aren't you afraid? It's the first question I got asked in every pueblo as I ran through the Bolivian Andes. For 17 days, I battled with the fear inside my head - and reflected in the people I met - as I ran solo and unsupported across the Sierra Oriental, the third range in my global challenge to run across a mountain range on every continent.

"Tamazight" means 'free people', and is what the Berbers call themselves in their own language. In October 2017, Jenny Tough ran solo and unsupported across the High Atlas Mountains, a place still populated by the Tamazight, but patrolled by the Moroccan Gendarmerie.

On September 18, 2016, I ran - somewhat stonkered - through the city gates of Osh, in the southwest of Kyrgyzstan, having run just over 900 kilometres in 25 days from the northeast city of Karakol via the Tien Shan mountains, solo and self-supported.

Jenny Tough - Velocio Ambassador
Jenny Tough is an adventurer, a writer, a filmmaker, a trail-runner and a Velocio Ambassador. Committed to travel all over the world, Jenny has spent the year near her home in the Canadian Rockies due to restrictions on travel from the pandemic. We spoke with her about riding, 2020 and what comes next in the world of cycling adventure.

To simply finish the Atlas Mountain Race means navigating 1,200 kilometres of the most rugged and remote roads in Morocco. To win requires riding almost non-stop, night and day, for days on end. It is a combination of strength and sleep deprivation that only a few riders in the world can manage. Alone, unsupported and loaded down with supplies, each competitor must constantly battle mechanicals, heat exhaustion and saddle sores to get to the finish. There is no prize, no money, simply the satisfaction that comes from pushing oneself to the limit while exploring the forgotten corners of a beautiful country.

With no idea what was going to happen to the world in the following weeks, Jenny Tough heads to one of her favourite wild places, completely oblivious that i...

There's no better way to explore wild places than on foot. A May 2018 fastpacking adventure, exploring the Wild Places of Tröllaskagi, Iceland, travelling fast and light and bivvying under the mountains.

Type 1 Fun! A Monday night saw me heading up into the mountains for a hike, bagging five munros before sunset and then sleeping on the fifth one. I've slept in and around many mountains in my life, but it's pretty rare to get the chance to sleep on top.

My April 2017 bikepacking adventure around nine Balkan countries, exploring the region off-road, camping wild, and traveling solo. Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. Three weeks, 2,000km, +35,000m.

I set a goal this year to learn to sail singlehanded, and did my first solo trip to an anchorage in some small islands off the coast of Vancouver Island. Mission complete!
