Cycle Touring, Activism and Music

Join us for this incredible evening showcasing adventure and cycle touring activism. There will be two talks and music.

Talk 1:

In 2019 journalist Jess Connett rode from Bristol to India. Jess will tell stories about the wildest – and most beautiful – parts of her trip through Central Asia: drinking vodka with truckers on the Caspian Sea and cycling hundreds of miles in a straight line through the empty Kazakh steppe. Jess shares her story for the first time.

Talk 2: ‘Cycling Philosophy and Activism.’

Jet McDonald is a writer musician and psychiatrist. In 2010 he cycled from Bristol to India. He based his book Mind is the Ride on this journey and a parallel adventure from Western to Eastern philosophy. In 2021 he cycled from Bristol to the Glasgow COP 26 towing a block of ice. Jet will be speaking about what cycling can tell us about our experience of being in the world and how that experience can help us change the world for the better.

Music :

Martin Callingham is a Bristol based alternative folk musician whose music has been described as; "A sublime stream of complete and utter loveliness"

There will also be a raffle tea + cake and an information stall. Plus the usual Happy World Productions warmth and smiles.

This is a benefit for Led by Donkeys
