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 am a veterinarian who loves adventure. I have always wanted to go on an extended bike ride and this tour seemed to fit the bill. I have ridden RAGBRAI and completed numerous long distance cycling events. I love to hike- trekking to the summit of Kilimanjaro and in Nepal. I love eco travel and have used my profession to enable me to work around the world. I have three adult children who encourage me to explore,travel and in the words of Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise- "To boldly go where "I " have never been before". First TDA tour was the Pub Ride and it was fabulous. Now I am hooked on cycle touring!

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!

Gergo Szanyi

Hi there, My name is Gergo [Grrr-go], I'm from Budapest, Hungary. I graduated in Visual Communications, since then I am 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 bounced into 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 as the first (and only) Hungarian in the TDA's history. What a great adventure it was! Next year, in 2007 I 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 with Eszter. Self-supported, with the help of an outdated, but then only available 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 aged 1 and 6) with tents, a tandem and trailers.

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

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!

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 in 2022, and part of the TransEuropa in 2023. Obviously a sucker for punishment, I’ve signed up for another one, but fingers crossed, it seems less hilly. And this time, we’re excited to share the adventure with our good friends, Joanne and Gary, who are joining TDA for the first time. Looking forward to sharing beers and stories with old and new friends. Cheers!

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. My ultimate goal is to do the full Tour d'Afrique in 2027. I will be aged 59!! I did the second half of the Pub Ride (London to Copenhagen) in 2022 and absolutely loved it! So I'm booked to do the first half (Dublin to London) next year (2024) and I'm planning to do other European tours each year after that.

“Working outdoors is phenomenal.”
When TDA need local support for translations in Turkey in 2014, I entered the picture. Before TDA, I lived year-round there, in Izmir. Now I live on the road eight months of the year; the rest of the time I’m in Turkey, either applying for visas or rock-climbing.
Sometimes on a tour our failures are as incredible as our successes. Being defeated as my tour attempted to climb a new route on Koca Sarp, a rocky mountain in central Anatolia, is an experience I’ll always remember.
I’ve seen so much of the world with TDA. My favourite place I’ve been so far is Meteora, Greece. Probably the greatest pleasure of cycle-touring for me is never spending more than two days in a row in the same spot.
Murray Burr
I am looking forward to doing the Pub Ride in 2024. It will be a great experience to once again sample other cultures, tastes and flavours from the other side of the world. I'm hoping to get to Paschendale whilst there to see where my Grandfather and 2 of his brothers fought during WW1. Having done TdA2017 I am confident the ride will be well organised and with great crew. Meeting new friends and a few fellow alumni will add to the adventure.

I am a veterinarian still practicing in Southern California, USA. I have been an avid outdoor enthusiast all my life and enjoy kayaking, skiing, camping, exploring etc. My youth was spent skiing, on a motorcycle (dirt bike) and horseback riding as our area was poor for bicycles. Lots of thorny plants = many flat tires. I came to bicycling later in life and found I enjoy longer rides and tours. Did the western half of the Northern Tier USA as my longest ride and really enjoyed just getting out on my bike and riding. I have not traveled much out of the US and Canada. Went to NZ and Austria hiking. Loved exploring small villages and enjoyed the beer for sure. I will be riding w/ my partner Karen Bartels on this trip. I am really looking forward to good riding, good company and the thrill of a new adventure!

Peter Donkers
My first bike tour was in 1988; 6 months through much of Western Europe on a 1st generation hard tail mountain bike outfitted with 4 panniers. Fast forward through a life with a career, kids and a shed filled with bicycles, cycle touring still remains at the core of what I love to do. Now with grandkids and (mostly) retired, I figured it might be nice to have someone else carry my bags for a change. I am fortunate to live on the Unceded Traditional Territory of the K’omoks First Nation on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. In addition to the love of cycling, the love for beer comes a close second making the Pub Tour a perfect pairing.

I am a recent covert to cycling. I love having adventures on my bike with friends and exploring new places. I have been lucky enough to travel to NZ and ride the Alps to Ocean trail as well as ride in the Australian outback. I am very excited to be part of the Viva Italia tour in 2024.
