Meet your host

Darren Williams

Why do I ride?

I ride to keep fit, to explore, to be adventurous, to experience new places, to enjoy the great outdoors, to challenge myself, to spend time with others and to escape the daily grind! One thing I have learnt, is that life is too short to take the easy route and miss so much scenery and experience different places and cultures. I love to travel (it’s my passion) and to spend time with likeminded people. I can’t wait to host you! I have enjoyed cycling for many years and in many forms. I live in Victoria, Australia about 15kms from the Great Ocean Road, which is one of my favourite place to ride. I has worked in the holiday industry in Europe, and have a genuine love for cycling, adventure and the romance of the European countries! I previously hosted a cycling tour in the French Pyrenees where I hosted other and visited many of the famous Tour de France climbs, and then ventured into the Alpes, where I instantly fell in love with Le Bourg d’Oisans and the magnificent Oisans region on France. I have explored the area and the greater region beyond and decided then, that this would be the destination for our next tour...........and you're invited!
