Zen Riderrs: Seven Ghanaians accomplish a 600-kilometer cycling ride from Accra to Tamale

Seven Ghanaian cyclists successfully achieved their audacious goal of completing a 600-kilometer cycling journey from Accra to Tamale on Sunday, October 5, 2023.

The five-day expedition, which began in Accra, involved overcoming numerous challenges and obstacles as they embarked on a remarkable mission to raise awareness about mental health.

The Zen Riders embarked on their journey from Nsawam, accompanied by an ambulance, a videographer/photographer, a police escort, and several mental health experts.

Along the way, they made stops in various communities, engaging with residents, educating them about mental health, and offering insights on overcoming mental barriers.

During their expedition, they utilised traditional media to convey their message to a broader audience. Stops were made in locations like Apedwa, Nkawkaw, Kumasi, Offinso, Techiman, Dawadawa, Buipe, and more.

Despite facing unexpected challenges such as flat tyres, navigation issues, steep hills, and scorching sun, the group persevered and successfully conveyed their message to achieve their goal.

The group, consisting of six males and one female, is scheduled to ride back to Accra on Saturday, November 11, 2023.
