Dylan has been designing and running bike tours since 1997 and it was this experience that provided the bedrock behind the creation of Ride & Seek. Family bike tours were the original inspiration though with the 1988 Land End to John  O’Groats trip his first ‘Epic’. He is now based with his family in the shadow of Mont Ventoux where the tour operations are based. Born in Zambia he has travelled extensively and has called Australia, Italy, Spain, England and now France home over the years. An itinerant lifestyle of professional squash, snowboarding and cycling have provided a wonderful passport to explore the world.

About

First cycling memory

Chaperoning my younger sister on the 4km ride to primary school every morning. My Mum would often follow in the car, out of sight, to check we were ok. It was my first experience of guiding!

Favourite bike

On tour I really like my Lynskey Sportive. In terms of pure aesthetics I’d go for anything from Look.

Top climb

Whist I have Mont Ventoux on my doorstep there are a number of climbs in the vicinity that I enjoy more. The Col de Murs in Provence is probably my favourite.

One thing on your bucket list

Take the whole family on one of the Epics!

A special skill you bring on tour

I think I’m a bit of a jack of all trades from a guiding perspective having done it for over 20 years now. After all that time I guess my special skill is to be as passionate about guiding as I was when I first started.

Favourite Ride & Seek tour gastronomic experience

A Fiorentina steak washed down with a fine bottle of Brunello di Montalcino in San Gimignano on our Hannibal tour.

Languages

English, French & Italian. I’m determined to improve my Spanish before we embark on a tour program in the Iberian peninsular.

Ride & Seek tours you lead REMOVE??

I’ve led all of them to date and I find myself on most of the Epics at least in part.
