Two Kiwi Olympians to cycle 4500km through Africa

Two Kiwi Olympians are taking on a herculean challenge - cycling 4500kms through East Africa for charity. Cyclist and Paris 2024 Olympic Silver medalist Nicole Shields came up with the idea and has managed to convince her friend, Olympic kayaker Hamish Legarth, to come with her. But unlike the high performance sports world they're used to, there will be no support crew in tow - with the pair carrying everything they need for the at least two-month adventure on them. Nicole and Hamish spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
