Ride Earth

Ride Earth is the mission of Tom Allen and Andrew Welch to travel the world by bicycle. Carrying video cameras, we are filming our adventure through new cultures and environments and documenting our new life on the road.

After 9 months of travelling, we’re in the Caucasus as spring finally breaks through a long and bitterly cold winter. Head over to the blog pages to read our latest stories and thoughts.

While travelling, we pass through areas of incredible beauty, but sadly also areas of environmental atrocity. We want to use this expedition to spread the message of the importance of preserving our natural environment.

This objective is shared by our supported charity The Wilderness Foundation, which aims to help preserve the world’s last remaining wild areas through social advocacy. A small organization with big ambitions, we hope to make a real difference to their work by reaching our fundraising target of 10,000 GBP. The Wilderness Foundation’s work includes:

• Global Wilderness Trails programmes, which build leadership skills and create environmental responsibility;
• Highlighting the value of wilderness through Social Programmes which provide opportunities for reform, personal development and the reconciliation of fractured communities; and
• Taking action to preserve wilderness areas under threat, through community-based projects, advocacy and education.
