Ben has been leading cycling tours for more than 20 years, guiding rides across the UK and cycling extensively through Southeast Asia, Morocco, and New Zealand. Originally from Southampton, he began his career in the Merchant Navy before turning his love for cycling and travel into a profession. Since returning to the UK in 2008, he’s called the English Lake District his home, where he can most often be found exploring its winding roads and rugged landscapes by bike—and he’s never been happier.
