Early 50's retired commodity trader. Father of 4 adventurous sons. Biking is an extension of my personality. I love to travel (best on bike), experience art , garden and engage with the local citizens where ever I may be. I spent 2 years in the Peace Corps in Belize in the late 80's where bicycling was my means of transportation and from that point biking has been important part of my lifestyle. I have done week long rides but have not had the time for extended rides until now. I'm really excited for this ride!!!!!!!!

Joseph Lee

I love to travel, and bicycle touring is my preferred way to see the world. This will be my first tour since Covid cancelled many plans. I’ve enjoyed 4 full TDA tours: Indian Adventure, Ruta Maya, Pub Ride, West Africa en Vélo. I’m excited to see Korea and more of Japan than Tokyo. I have travelled lots, but my list of places to visit never gets any shorter. I became a teacher, mainly because of the holidays, and I am now semi-retired, doing occasional teaching in between travels. Looking forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones. Now I need to get cycling again!

Christiane Selenz

This is my seventh tour with TdA. The first one was 2010 in the Eastern European countries which got me hooked to this kind of travelling. Now, I am curious to explore Korea and Japan from the saddle of my bike. So looking forward to meet old and new riders.

Gergo Szanyi

Hi there, My name is Gergo [Grrr-go], I'm from Budapest, Hungary.  Graduated in Visual Communications, since then dealing with photography, film and all sorts of graphic design projects. After more than a decade of annual and occasional bike touring with my family and friends in the late 80's and 90's, a couple of seasons of mountain bike racing, and quite a few years of "just" sitting in an office, in 2005 I read a magazine article about the Tour of Freaks... I mean... the Tour d'Afrique.  It made me wonder: how such distance is even doable on a bicycle?  Fast forward to the following January: I found myself in Cairo, at the start line of the 4th edition of TDA!  I successfully completed the full tour. What a great adventure it was! Next year, in 2007 I also crossed the Himalaya by bike, riding with a friend from Lhasa to Kathmandu.  On this trip we had a great off-road ride up to the "North Base Camp" of Mount Everest in Tibet, China at 5,150 metres (16,900 ft) above sea level. This is where this profile photograph was taken. In 2010 we circumnavigated the island of Cuba – self-supported, with the help of an old paper map. Since then I did the Amber Route, a couple of Orient Express tours, Trans Europas, Odysseys and the PubRides. In the summer of 2020 we completed a long distance all self-supported bicycle tour with the kids (then younger than 1 and 6) with tents, tandem and trailers.

I'm an active cyclist, always seeking new adventures. I lived/worked in SE Asia for 15 years and can't wait to finally cycle this special part of the world with TDA Global Cycling. Having thoroughly enjoyed the 2018 Pub Ride and 2019 Orient Express tour, I now look forward to the 2023 Golden Buddha Trip. Let's ride - 'eat, drink and be merry' - all the way!

Judy Scott

Hi I'm really looking forward to the trip. I'm English born but have spent most of my life in Australia. Cycling is a big part of my life I'm on the road or MTB everyday - sometimes twice a day. I'm committed to drinking coffee and sharing post ride beer! Riding is great but it's the social side and comraderie that makes it worthwhile. I've spent time in the Alps and Pyrenees, and done some riding in Vietnam from South to North. Looking forward to combining my love of travel, the outdoors and cycling with like minded people

Hanns Fellenz

Married 42 years, 4 children, 3 grandchildren. Retired CIO World traveler; 2 circumnavigations by air and train on 5 continents. TDA Epics x 4 (so far)

Really looking forward to the ride - the scenery, adventure and laughter. My training is advanced on the Pub piece, Abbeys not so much and I am working hard on the riding!

Brett Lanham

I’m an ex seafarer, retired now for 10 years, fortunate enough to have been able to get away on a bike tour with TdA every year since 2011, until 2020 that was! I look forward to catching up with friends from past rides and meeting new ones and sharing this great adventure with a beer, or two.

Hello, I'm a retired oceanographer and I've taken up cycle touring as a replacement for running and backpacking, which I'm no longer able to do. My wife and I have done several previous trips with TDA (Orient Express, TransOceania 2014, the South American Epic, and Tour d'Afrique, among others) and we're looking forward to another interesting and challenging experience this year in Australia and New Zealand. Looking forward to meeting all the riders and seeing old friends.

Is there a more challenging, charming, or humbling way to travel the World and discover it’s people and treasures? If there is, I haven’t come across it yet, and perhaps I wish not to. I have been a bicycle mechanic for over ten years and it has led me towards new adventures and friendships. Here’s to clean and lubed chains, straight wheels, and a comfy saddle! See you on the next adventure!

Sheelagh Daly

Hey there! I'm Sheelagh. My two favourite things are bike touring and making videos about bike touring... maybe that's one thing ;) I have absolutely loved bike touring on my own and I am so excited to be a part of others' bike touring adventures as a member of the TDA team.

I am a retired teacher who is involved in a lot of different activities, mostly involving music. I joined my husband, Donnie, on the Pub Tour, and despite finding the actual cycling quite challenging, I enjoyed the people on the tour and the TDA super support staff so much, I have, against my better judgment, signed up for the Venice to Barcelona section. Looking forward to sharing beers with my old (Pub Ride) and new friends. Cheers!

Nancy Stueve

Avid road cyclist who loves seeing new places from a bike seat.

Maria Victoria Cardini

Retired. Hobbies: travels, movies and technology

Mark Fagan

After completing the Pub Ride this year, it was not a question of “if” we were doing another TDA tour, it was a question of “When”. My wife and I can’t wait to join Trans Europa in Venice next August

Rachel Chandler

After meeting so many great friends on the Pub Ride, I’m excited to join this adventure! I'm not the fastest cyclist, nor am I fond of hills, but I’ll get the job done. Besides, there’s always a beer at the end! I'm excited to join great friends, meet new ones, and share this adventure with my husband, Mark!

Jennie Wells

I’ve been a cyclist since 2015, riding with Railway City Cycling Club (RC3) of St. Thomas, Ontario since 2016. My best friends are my cycling companions, also on RC3 who travelled with me on the 2022 Pub Ride. We enjoy gravel rides, viewing scenic shores of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario or the Georgian Bay, along with good food and drink at local breweries after the ride.

Dave Kenyon

I'm a Veterinarian currently living in the UK, having lived most of my life in South Africa. I enjoy the outdoors and like to run, swim and cycle. I've also done a bit of horse riding and played golf, but there's only so much time and you need to focus! My favourite pastime is scuba diving (I'm a PADI DM). I really love my work as a vet, but I'm 55 years old now and starting to look at retirement/semi-retirement. My goal is to do the full Tour d'Afrique in 2025/26. I will be turning 57/8 that year!! I'm looking forward to doing a few shorter tours in the next few years to learn the ropes.

Roger Cook

I am a 70 year-old that has always been active, with gym-workouts, running, and biking. I completed the Viva Italia in the fall of 2019 and was impressed. As a result, i have signed up for many more adventures; however, we all know how that has worked out! The Pub Ride fits perfectly within my life: I am a lover of activity and of beer :).
