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

Rachael Trowton

I will be joining the tour as a medic, I am a junior doctor in the NHS currently working in the beautiful south of Yorkshire. After a busy couple of years in the hospital, I am looking forward to stretching my legs in the fresh air, seeing more of the world, and helping keep our cyclists on the tour happy and healthy through the ride. I have done a number of cycle tours over the years including through the UK, Europe and Vietnam and I have definitely got the cycling bug from them!

Ben Murgatroyd

Having worked for the past 8 winters as a wilderness guide in Finnish Lapland, and traveling for the coinciding summers, covid bought my lifestyle to an abrupt halt. Not one to be deterred, I moved up to stunning Scotland in my van, studying to become a furniture maker in a workshop full of laughter and creativity. But the itch to travel always needs scratching, so I'm very excited to join the tour to see another part of our beautiful planet and all it has to offer, smiling all the way!

Mitchell Kadelbach

Something of a British Canadian mongrel, raised in Toronto yet living for the past six years in Cornwall in the south of England. I first cut my teeth as a chef in the fast-paced restaurants of Toronto - specialising in Italian and Mexican cuisine. Recently, however, I've traded a cluttered kitchen for outdoor catering and part-time teaching. As I teach at a cookery school, leading courses on vegetarian, middle eastern, and vegan cuisines. This segway suits my interest as I tour the English south-west catering weddings events all summer long. Interestingly, I've just graduated with a journalism degree, which I hope to capitalise on by starting a sustainability angled food blog. In 2019, I completed the Silk Route tour with TDA as the tour chef. And have been jonesing to get back on time ever since – experiencing countries, cultures and landscapes from the inside out.

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. This might just be one of 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 adventure. Or you might just want a cool looking picture of you and some mountains. See you out there, Rouleurs. Live Slow, Ride Fast.

Elizabeth (Liz) Crago

There are so many interesting places to travel to, and I can't think of any better way to travel through anywhere, than by bike. I enjoy the challenge it brings and I look forward to going to the more out of the way locations. I enjoy travel, and I love cycling so am looking forward to combining them both again on this trip. My first TDA trip was Madagascar in 2019 and I can’t wait to do another trip with TDA.

Hanne Renland

I discovered this fascinating lifestyle in 2017 as a section rider on Tour d'Afrique Egypt-Rwanda. My fascination of this way of riding/living made me cycle through Norway in 2017 and 2019 and through Tanzania November 2017. In 2018 I did West-Africa, an extraordinary fascinating tour. I live in a small town in the nothern part of Norway, where I work as a psychologist. Beside my work I am running an aid project in the south-west of Tanzania.

I feel alive when I am riding on my bike. At home in Denmark I ride flat so I prefer to ride in the mountains when I am cycling abroad. This will be my third trip with TDA. I did the Trans-Himalaya in 2019 and the Kingdom of the West in Morocco in 2022.
