Wow! Following their amazing achievement of cycling around the world to set a new world record for being the fastest women to circumnavigate on a tandem, we have some amazing news....

Cat and Raz have been recognised in the TOP 100 Women in Cycling 2020

Their citation reads -

"Catherine Dixon (Cat) and Rachael Marsden (Raz) – known as TandemWOW – had an ambition to raise £1 a mile as they cycled around the world on a tandem bicycle. After 263 days they arrived back in the UK at the end of March this year, just before lockdown. After cycling 18,000 miles they raised a massive £37,000 for charity. They also set a new world record, beating the previous men’s record by more than 17 days. Always with a smile they cycled through storms, monsoon rains, brutal headwinds and fires. They endured emotional and physical hardships, hunger and exhaustion and, through their incredible determination, have shown us all that anything is possible."

  • Seeing the World at the speed of a bicycle is a daunting, painful, yet unbelievably brilliant journey. I am excited to follow Raz and Cat’s epic World Record attempt on a bicycle made for two! This will be a test of two bodies, one bike and a wonderful friendship.
    – Mark Beaumont, record-breaking long-distance cyclist
  • The challenge Cat and Raz have set themselves is outrageously, wonderfully bonkers. It is the kind of adventure you read about in books but they have shown the courage to make it a reality. I wish them well and will, with many thousands of others I’m sure, follow their progress with interest. I can’t think of a better acronym for what they are doing than the one they’ve come up with, WOW indeed.
