Maureen Lanuke

Hi. My name is Maureen, and I am passionate about bicycle touring and anything to do with bicycles. The Cross Canada tour has been on my "bucket list" for many years, and I was planning to do it in 2017, so to be able to do it as a special event to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday, is a bonus. Starting in Haida Gwaii, and circumnavigating the Gaspe Coast, where I grew up, is awesome. I have cycled the Orient Express trip with TDA, and have participated in, or led many bike tours through Canada, the States, France, Italy, New Zealand, and Australia - both supported and self-support, but this will be my dream come true! I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow adventurers on this epic journey!

Peter Clark Ryan

I am a keen cyclist who particularly likes endurance riding. Having previously lived in Malaysia in the 70s and having done a little humanitarian work in Laos, I’m looking forward to experiencing Asia again from a different perspective. It will be a lot hotter than France & Italy and I expect the hills will be just as hard.

From Doomsday to Shangri-La .... I keep telling everyone around me that it is a “once in a lifetime experience” (but then the next adventure awaits)... once ... and even twice, may never be enough. Looking forward to rendezvous with TDA family, long slow days with less this time... just the right amount and mix of rebound, tread, saddle-width and gears.

My name is Michiel. I'm from cycling country Holland and 57 years old and I have travelled with TdA Africa, Silk route, Central America, India and Brazil. It will be exciting to explore this part of the world by bike. I am looking forward to overcome all challenges together with you: fellow riders and staff. And just love riding against the wind...

Bicycle touring is the one thing I can't seem to get enough of. I'm looking forward to another tour with TDA.

LENORE LEWIS

Hi there I am a 56 year old retired accountant from Montreal who took up cycling about 10 years ago. An Adventure Cycling Association trip in Utah was my first introduction to cycle touring and since then, I have had many adventures on bike exploring places near and far. After completing ACA’s leadership training course, my husband and I designed and led a couple of tours of our own. I am both excited and bit apprehensive (read mildly scared) about tackling TDA’s epic Tour d'Afrique but look forward to seeing this challenge through - all the way to Cape Town - Hopefully !
