Congratulations Henry and all of your dedicated staff and followers! Would that I had started cycling with TDA and continued yearly to do all of them. Every ride is an adventure and TDA does it all. You and your staff are amazing! Thanks for 21 years of adventures and all the best for the next 20+!

Hi Henry. CONGRATULATIONS for an “impossible milestone” of 100 tours. You have changed so many lives and have made us realize that nothing is impossible. Joe and I still talk of the TdA most days even though it’s been 20 years since we did it. A lifechanging event doesn’t begin to describe it. Well done, Henry, and I look forward to the 101st tour.!

I rode the Tour d’ Afrique in 2009. I started the tour at age 70 and celebrated my 71st birthday in Tanzania. I was the oldest, and slowest rider on the tour. Three of us who were the slowest called ourselves “Team Sweep” and the staff gave each of us a broom! This was the adventure of a lifetime. There were riders from ten countries, and I am still friends with many of them.
