The Hope Ride from Durban to Swakopmund is now officially live, and supporters across South Africa can track every kilometre of Joel Stransky and the team’s 2 500km journey in real-time.

Britehouse, which built the Tour de France operations app, has created a cloud-powered tracking platform that allows the public to follow the riders’ progress from any device.

You can track the ride live here: http://hoperide.co.za/

The platform gives audiences:

  • Live GPS tracking of the team as they move across Southern Africa
  • Interactive maps and stage updates for an immersive experience
  • Tour de France-grade stability and performance, even in remote desert stretches
  • A direct link to donate to the LumoHawk Foundation

This year’s Hope Ride is a mission to restore sight for children who cannot afford eye care.
