Hi all. Thanks for the thread and comments.
It’s true, we’re no longer based in Spain and are back in the UK. As mentioned by Nobeerinthefridge, there where too many new opportunities, challenges and experiences to be had.
Joyriders is still going, but as Del say’s, it’s lower key. We had grand plans for Nepal this year (we should have been there now), but insurance was impossible after the Earthquake hit. The plan is to offer these trips again as soon as we can.
We’re also working on trips in the UK and other international locations. Pete’s just got back from a research trip in South Africa and Lesotho. The current plan is to keep Spain part of the offering too – just not full time.
A second business is being set up, inspired by Pete’s two year honeymoon cycling to New Zealand. Adventure Pedlars – fatbike adventure tours. The idea is that these trips would be run in the same locations and off the back of the Joyriders holidays. But you can also put your own bespoke tour together.
