Starting on 19 December 2009 at the Le Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis he circumnavigated the Indian Ocean Island in 9 riding days and was accompanied by the beautiful ex Miss Mauritius, Olivia Carrey and numerous legends in the Mauritian cycling industry. 

Christo rode +/-35km per day with 5 designated stops in various district councils and villages where enormous reception parties were hosted for him and he truly felt the hospitality and warmth of the Mauritian people. The Tour de Maurice le Monocycle as it was fondly referred to by the Mauritian people was very well supported. 

After completing this feat Christo was appointed as an Official Ambassador for Mauritius and Mauritian cycling together with other big names and legends in the cycling world such as Mr Andrew McLean, Thomas Desvaux and the current Mauritian cycling champion Yannick Lincoln. 

The adventure was very well documented and a book and DVD by Christo will be released in the near future offering viewers and readers alike to relive the adventure through Christo’s eyes.

Representing both Mauritius and South Africa, Christo or Magic Man as he was fondly referred to by the Mauritian Children was then invited for an official state visit to the State House of His Excellency, The Right Honorable Sir Anerood Jugnauth the President of the Republic of Mauritius before returning to his home country South Africa.
