  Gonzalo Pastor is a sectional rider on the 2024 Tour d’Afrique Cycling Expedition. In this post, he reports on his experiences, religious and otherwise, in Tanzania. We are in beautiful Tanzania. A few days ago, we camped under the impressive Mt Kilimanjaro and last night we saw Mount Meru from our campsite. Two jewels of Tanzania! I will be taking with me many wonderful memories from this beautiful land, spiced by the magic of the Tanzanian people. People from different tribes (Maasai, Chagga and other 118 tribes, living in peace with one another) and 3 of the world’s main religions ..read more

  Judith Gold, sister of TDA Founder Henry Gold, is currently cycling the 2024 Tour d’Afrique from Kigali to Cape Town. In this piece, she looks back at her experience cycling through Kenya. We have now completed cycling through Kenya. Our first rest stop in the country, after an intense 5 days of riding from Entebbe – through mountains, on dirt roads, in fishermen’s boats and on local trucks – was in Eldoret, the town where Kenyan runners and cyclists train. It was home for the recent Chicago marathon champion and world record holder, Kiptum, who died in a tragic car crash a week before ..read more

Aussies Or Kiwis: Who Rules The 2024 Trans-Oceania?
TDA Global Cycling Blog
by Michael Coo
2w ago
  Australia (‘The Lucky Country’) and New Zealand (‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’) have long had a sibling rivalry between them. For example, in sports, like cricket (point to the Aussies) and rugby (point to the Kiwis). Although the 2 countries love to tell jokes about their Trans-Tasman neighbours, they also consider each other as best friends on the world stage. Our Trans-Oceania Cycling Tour covers both these unique countries and with the 2024 edition starting in about 7 months, we thought we would take a good-natured look at the debate and see who comes out on top. Wildlife Eas ..read more

Do I have to ride the whole day?

  “Do I have to ride the whole day?” This is a common concern for someone who has never done a tour with us before – there is a natural fear of being too slow or being left behind. Rest assured, our staff do regular attendance to ensure everyone is accounted for and are ready and willing to give you a ride in the support vehicles if needed. The simple answer to this very common question is “No”. This is a supported tour and while we encourage people to ride as much as they are able to, and the goal is for everyone to be able to ride the full day, we do have space on our vehicles to pick ..read more

  “This was my first TDA tour and now I’m hooked. Halfway into this one I had already booked 2 other TDA tours.” – Raul, Golden Buddha Ride “TDA has done it again! The tour exceeded all my expectations. The routes were well planned and never boring!” – Dennis, Trans-Himalaya TDA has had a wonderful problem over the last 18 months: Our tours are very much in demand. But as tours sell out and waitlists grow, some of you are missing out. In 2021 we made the registration fee transferable – meaning people could change their mind and switch to another tour anytime before the entry fee payment ..read more

  Judith Gold, sister of TDA Founder Henry Gold, is currently cycling the 2024 Tour d’Afrique from Kigali to Cape Town. In this piece, she looks back at her experience crossing…and recrossing…one of the world’s great dividing lines. As loyal followers of TDA Global Cycling will know, the 2024 Tour d’Afrique had to rejig its traditional route to skip over Sudan and Ethiopia. Instead, we got to bike in Rwanda and Uganda and so had the pleasure of many new experiences that were not available on the usual ride. One of these is the numerous crossings of the equator. The equator is one of thos ..read more

  Benjamin Levin is the Content Creator on the 2024 Tour d’Afrique Cycling Expedition and a self described wildlife photographer. In this report, he looks back at his experience (and that of a few riders) had on the Musanze rest day visiting the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. The riders had climbed for days and days to get to this point. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills and whoever said that was certainly not exaggerating. But some riders on the 2024 Tour d’Afrique had a destination in mind that was worth the endless ascents; they were going to one of the only places in the ..read more
