Loretta Henderson - quit her normal life at 36, and having never cycled before, set off to cycle around the world!

After a decade of being distracted by a career, a relationship, and home ownership; Loretta Henderson decided to stop dreaming about adventure and to start living it.  She left Alaska at age 36 to begin cycling around the world.  Starting in the United Kingdom, she left the bike shop on a Thorn Raven without a map and without any cycling experience.  Four years later she has pedaled across 30 countries on 5 continents and records her adventures at www.skalatitude.com.  Loretta Henderson welcome to The Pursuit Zone.
