Greg Konsor

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!!!!!!!!

I love to travel, and bicycle touring is my preferred way to see the world. This will be my first tour as a 'sectional rider'. I’ve enjoyed 4 full TDA tours: Indian Adventure, Ruta Maya, Pub Ride, West Africa en Vélo. I am looking forward to re-visiting Budapest and experiencing Romania, Bulgaria and Istanbul for the first time. 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.

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 few 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?  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. 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 2022 Bamboo Road. Let's ride - 'eat, drink and be merry' - all the way from Hanoi to Singapore!

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
