Dale is a passionate and experienced cycling tour guide. Dale was an athlete first and foremost. With a long history in cycling, athletics and triathlon, Dale finds herself focused on cycling these days. She brings a lot of that experience, coupled with her extensive travel experience and leadership skills, to her role as as a successful tour guide.

Dale loves the entire Tour experience, from uncovering hidden gem must see elements that a tourist may never find on their own, her broad grin when descending a European alpine road, right through to her love of taking photos of interesting parts of the small towns we visit.

Don’t be fooled though because as an athlete Dale is ferocious! Dale is a very successful cyclist in her own right. Dale has competed at very high levels including a top 10 at the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Albi, France. Dale has also won Australian Championships, both on the road and in Cyclocross. Dale has a great deal of wisdom and experience to share with all of our people on tour.

Adrian is the fun-loving consummate professional of tour guides. A wicked sense of humour, coupled with knowledge of the regions that is second to none, Adrian is the guide’s guide.

Adrian is a very accomplished cyclists, and has bike packed over Europe with a keen interest in France and Le Tour.

Look for Adrian to give an insightful, humourous and sometimes eventful morning brief of the days activities over breakfast, then regale with tales of his travels over dinner in the evening. Both are well worth it for the audience.

Pete is one of the most experienced travelling cyclists. Pete has a cheeky way about him. Don’t let that fool you. He is more than loveable larrikin.

Pete is an extremely accomplished athlete, both as a cyclist and triathlete. Pete has raced in multiple European countries with Austria, Italy & Ireland, just to name a few. He will never tell you though as he is equally an extremely humble individual. That’s why we love him!

Pete has won Australian championships as a cyclist. He has competed in many Ironman triathlons as well as qualifying and competing at the biggest triathlon in the world at Ironman Hawaii, Kona. These days he is focused on endurance cycling. It is nothing for Pete to roll home after completing a 200km to 300km ride, so be careful if he asks if you want to do a few more kilometres.
