What began as a practical way to get around during his school years became, decades later, a defining part of Richard's life. Returning to cycling at 45 for fitness and clarity, he soon found short rides evolving into long-distance journeys.Over the past decade, Richard has cycled more than 66,000 kilometres across eight countries, including routes from Osaka to Hiroshima, Seoul to Busan, and throughout Thailand. His travels also include New Zealand's Tour Aotearoa, sections of Australia from Sydney to Surfers Paradise and Melbourne to Canberra, and the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route through the USA and Canadian Rockies.Rather than chasing accolades, he views these rides as milestones-proof that steady, consistent effort can carry you further than you imagine.
