I am a semi-retired lawyer from Melbourne Australia who has cycled most of Italy with Ciclismo Classico, I participated in the 2011 Orient Express tour with TDA and enjoyed it so much that I am cycling from Vilnia to Barcelona this year. I am looking forward to making new acquaintances and seeing new countries from the seat of my bicycle.
I am a supporter of the environment and peace in the Middle East and since 2006 I have cycled in Israel to raise funds for The Arava Institute which prepares future Arab and Jewish leaders to co-operatively solve the region's environmental challenges while building peace. www.arava.org
I am fundraising for The Arava Institute on this bike ride. Tax deductible donations in Australia can be made using this link:
