    Roz on the open coast!

    Roz will be heading up the coast on Wednesday afternoon, wave if you see her in a Blue Prius with peace sign and a rucksack sticking out the back! She will probably be online with her new MiFi (3G to WiFi)and may be able to respond back(admin stuff too and still in test phase). She could use all the support that she deserves! If not by a honk how about an online greeting!

  • jay gosuico

    Roz makes it to The City! …. here she is … (her phone is out of juice) …

    I survived!!! //climateride

  • Fred

    FANTASTIC NEW SITE ROZ! This is a great change up.

  • jay gosuico

    Roz is currently inundated in administrative work. She continues to do well and survive what the sea and land adventures have doled out to her. And although she is worn and often submerged in the constant onslaught of the work behind protecting the world, I know from first hand that she has each and every one of you in her mind as she does what she can to address each email and kind hello. Also rest assured that as soon as she has a moment to catch her breath, she will be back in full force! I have clearly witnessed her mettle and determination(Support and Gear Wagon on ClimateRide). She is no where near ready to capsize now! … and even if she were to… She’d pop right back up again. Cheers Roz! Go Girl Go!

    up ahead… Bay Area Tour 2010!

About Roz Savage

Roz Savage is a British ocean rower and environmental campaigner. Coupled with her solo row across the Atlantic in 2005-6, she has rowed over 11,000 miles, taken 3.5 million oarstrokes, and spent cumulatively nearly a year of her life at sea in a 23-foot rowboat. Her personal creed of taking life 'one oarstroke at a time', and her promotion of the EcoHero movement, has inspired countless people around the world. In 2011 she will set out to complete the "Big Three" by rowing solo across the Indian Ocean.
