Trevor Lund

The son of a miller and a secretary, Trevor grew up in the village of Calverley, near Leeds in West Yorkshire. When not enjoying the countryside, Trevor enjoyed sport but, whilst full of energy, was never particularly good. He developed a passion for adventure, for camping and for cycling at a relatively young age, and began organising camping trips with friends around the age of 14. His first 'big' journey came at the age of 21 when he chose to take a year away from home, travelling to the USA, Canada, Hawaii, Australia, Thailand and Malaysia. The highlight of that year away was an 1800 mile cycle journey down the west coast of Canada and the USA on a second-hand bike he had bought for around £20.

Ryan Benz

While successful by most external measures, by his early thirties, Ryan Benz felt empty and exhausted, dissatisfied with his life, and eager to strengthen his connection to himself and the natural world. In the prime of his life, he chose a nontraditional path, diving headfirst into the world of mindfulness and letting go of everything contributing to his unhappiness-including the career he had spent over ten years building. Turning to the healing power of nature, Benz's trek took him over two thousand miles through the woods from Georgia to Maine, and with each step traveled, he returned a little closer to his true self. Ryan now spends his time sharing his story to show others they have the power to choose their own path.

Larry Walsh

US Army veteran, family man, and author of two #1 Amazon New Release memoirs. After thirty years of working in the pharmaceutical industry, Walsh needed a change; he wanted a change. So in 2018, he set out on a 3,120-mile bike ride from California to Florida. A wise man once said, "If you dig it, do it. If you dig it a lot, do it again"-Jim Croce. So that's what he did racing from Oregon to Virginia in 2019 in the grueling 4,200-mile TransAmerica Bike Race.

He found it difficult to share his experiences in quick conversations with family and friends, so he wrote about his adventures pedaling through 528 towns, covering 7,300 miles, and crossing 18 states. His uplifting stories from his travels encompass two books, Suit to Saddle: Cycling to
