Tim Millikin

I cycled around the world between 2015-2018 covering 46500km and 39 countries. I am a keen adventure cyclist and love to see what is around each corner. I have worked for TDA in Romania, Africa, Europe and Morocco and I look forward to guiding you again soon

Holly andrews

Hello! I'm Holly and I am the medic on the trip. I am an anaesthetist from the UK with a passion for bringing my job outside of the hospital 4 walls as much as possible. I have practised medicine on multiple expeditions across the world from the Nepal Himalayas and the Honduran rainforest to assisting multi stage ultra marathons in the wild and wet North of Scotland. I am a keen cyclist and having completed multiple long distance cycle tours myself, I maintain it is the best way to travel and be absorbed in all a country has to offer. I am currently living in the French Alps and training for the tour with mutli - day ski mountaineering adventures and a lot of trail running whilst waiting for new snow! Looking forward to meeting and adventuring with the tour team :)

“A mountain biker at heart, but bike touring pays the bills!”

Most of the time, I work at the TDA head office in Toronto as the IT Manager, but I also sometimes work on the tours as needed, either as a guide or a bike mechanic. I landed here because my uncle mentioned to me he had a friend—Henry—with this crazy bike company, the friend and I met, and the rest is history.

I studied Business and IT at university, and my previous job was at an exotic car dealership. In my own time, I do more mountain biking than touring, and usually find nice trails to ride wherever our tours take me. Outside of TDA, I’ve cycled across Europe and half of Canada.

The Pamir Highway was a peak experience for me! As a mountain biker, I always love the roughest, crappiest roads our tours travel on. My favourite day of the entire Silk Route was actually the day that most of the other riders thought was the worst—it ended with a long switchback descent on a rough gravel road.

Every day brings a new challenge to solve, whether here in the office or on the side of a road in the desert. I really value that element of my job and relish it immensely.

Mats Fredrix

I remember the first time I had tears of joy running down my cheeks on a descent, and screaming every syllable of 'Paradise by the Dashboard Lights' to endure the pains of a full day in the headwind. These might just be mine, but you'll experience plenty, beautifully weird 'joys of riding' of your own, and when those happen, I'm your man. To tell your story, your Moroccan adventure. Or you might just want a cool looking picture of you and some mountains. See you out there, Rouleurs. Live Slow, Ride Fast.

Richard Schingler

love to travel and see the world from the seat of a bicycle. This will be my fourth tour with TDA.

Canadian currently living in Spain...

Terry Scheikowski

I am a retired lecturer in Food Science living in Melbourne and have been cycling as an adult for 40+years. I completed Cairo to Cape Town with TdA in 2019 albeit in stages having started back in 2013. I have previously cycled across Canada with Tour du Canada. some years back I rode with two friends from the north to the south of the UK (John O'Groats to Lands End) taking a wandering route and enjoying English and Scottish B&Bs and the odd pub.

Stephen Hyde

Just retired, I have been looking for a cycling adventure and this trip fits the bill. I have lived in Abu Dhabi for the last 22 years and I am now back in the cold of the UK. Hoping for some good weather, great cycling and looking forward to meeting everyone and starting.

Maureen Stone

Looking forward to seeing how the mud roads of West Africa en Velo compare to Tanzania! Cairo to Capetown 2018 was amazing beyond words, will be so good to hit the road with TDA again. So.....that didn't happen - Now excited for Morocco instead!

Happily retired and trying to make the most of QTR (quality time remaining).

Christopher (Kit) Campbell

Transecting Africa remains an unfinished project, but we'll plan for '23 to complete if the body allows. Like many others in the TDA diaspora, we're all eager to get back on tour: Morocco seems an ideal way to escape the late winter weather of coastal BC.

Mike Jakeman

Bike and travel.....it's a retirement thing.

63 retired MD looking forward to Morocco with a great tour leader

Michiel van Wijk

I’m not looking for smooth cycle paths, gentle traffic and tail wind, because I can find that at home. When on holiday I prefer dirt roads, deserts and diarrhea. That’s what I hope to find again cycling with TdA.

Libby (Elizabeth) McMullen

I love to travel and I love to bike so I can't imagine a more exciting adventure especially in this country. This will be my first TDA tour and I am looking forward to the challenge, meeting the group and exploring Morocco

David Paterson

I am 69, retired, and live in the Okanagan Valley of B.C. Canada. Really only cycle to travel. Went on tda trips in Africa and India and the Himalayas.

Dennis Joe

I'm retired and spend my time cycling and outdoors as much as possible. Generally I consider myself an outdoors person. I'm an avid hunter and fisherman. Around the house I garden and enjoy cooking. I've done several week long bike tours in Georgia, Tennessee, New York, Colorado, Virginia, and South Dakota. These rides run the spectrum as far as types of rides. Some more challenging than others, but all have their own character. I spent my career as an auditor; finding and fixing problems. It can be said that I like to crunch numbers. Now I'm seeking new adventures and new places. I haven't traveled that much outside the USA. So, the fun of riding, meeting new friends and seeing new places is why I'm joining the Morocco tour.

Erik Snucins

Retired Land Surveyor , gentleman farmer, and enjoy long rides

Brad Gray

Tour D'Afrique Alumni 2019. Enrolled for the Silk Route and other tours but Covid got in the way.... A long wet Fall in Vancouver and I'm crawling the walls to get out on the road again. Morocco fit the bill..... Brad

Karin Lind Hansen

I love travelling. I love biking. I love visiting new places. I completed my first trip with TDA in December 2019 and just returned back home now from a TDA tour in Morocco - and I just cannot wait for the next trip.

Nicolas Teng

Looking to get fit, while visiting exotic places, experience culture, history and sampling great food. Really surprised that TDA offered this kind of trip now in the middle of Pandemic. It is my first, looking forward already the next one.

Anthony Rock

I'm a Canadian-American and split my time between urban life in Brooklyn, NY and on the Northumberland Strait in Atlantic Canada. The Kingdom of Morocco will be my 4th ride with TDA.

Emily Hillstrom

An active, adventurous 30-something year old who might be crazy for deciding to do her 2nd TDA Tour after the Hippie Trail in 2016. Looking forward to Morocco, seeing old friends and meeting new ones. See you soon!

Roger Palmer

Hello fellow adventurers. I’m from Melbourne Australia, occasionally the worlds most liveable city! Im looking forward to cycling new roads to exciting places and enjoying Moroccan food with a great bunch of people. Ive been a regular cyclist for many years with recent tips to the Dolomites and Tuscany in Italy along with the sub tropical north east coast of Australia. Pre covid adventures also included backcountry skiing in Iceland, Norway and Japan along with sail and ski trips in Norwegian fjords and the northern coast of Iceland.

Rae Simpson

I'm a retired test pilot/engineer/other aviation things. I took up cycling when arthritis and a double hip replacement ended my running career. My wife, Ursula, and I have done a number of TDA trips starting with Africa in 2008, using them as our window to places we haven't been before. We've enjoyed every one. We only signed up for Morocco in 2022 after JTE was again delayed and we're looking to riding with some friends from previous trips as well as meeting new ones. After that, we're hoping that Shangri-La and JTE will be able to go in 2023.

Ursula Simpson

I am a retired database analyst. Enjoying life in Squamish, on Canada's West coast. Either hiking, biking, or skiing. Having fun with my two grandsons or hanging out with friends. My husband Rae and I are seasoned riders with TdA. Tour d’Afrique in 2008, Rome in 2012, Bamboo Road in 2013 and Australia in 2014. New Zealand in 2016. The Magical Madagascar tour in 2017. Hippie trail in 2019 and The Himalayas in 2019. I am looking forward to the challenge that Morocco will bring.
