Ride Earth is the project of Tom Allen and Andy Welch to explore the globe by mountain bike. They departed from the UK in June 2007, carrying video cameras to document their expeditions with the aim of promoting sustainable transport and discovering the world and themselves through responsible, open-minded travel.
In 2009, Tom biked through the Middle East and North East Africa.
His route took him south through Sudan and Ethiopia. He took a boat from Djibouti to the Arabian peninsular and returned via Iran to Armenia.
Tom is now in Armenia, preparing to ride East across Asia in 2010. Read more
Last year, Andy crossed Armenia, Iran and Pakistan and explored the diverse and colourful Indian subcontinent.
He is now in the UK to raise funds and prepare for his next mountain bike expedition.
