In his 20's, working an office job he hated, Tom woke up in the middle of the night with a wild idea: why not take people on bike trips? No playbook. No investors. Just a sense that he could make a living doing what he loved. His first trip? Four guests riding through Death Valley, pitching their own tents. From there, Backroads scaled to hotels, while weathering a bike burglary, a van rollover in the desert, 9/11, the Great Recession, and a pandemic that brought tourism to a halt. Today, Backroads runs 5,000+ trips a year in 60+ countries.This is a masterclass in savvy cash flow, scrupulous quality control, and dogged iteration.

The construction of the Tulla Road Active Travel Scheme in Ennis is expected to take 18 months. Clare County Council has announced that the project will be delivered in seven phases, with the first section from Gort na mBláth to Hillcrest to be completed within approximately 12 weeks. Works will take place from 8am to 6pm on weekdays and from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays while works impacting road operation will be carried out from 9:30am to 4:30pm from Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. It's understood a traffic management system will be in place for the duration of the operation, and Clare County Council Senior Executive Engineer Anne O'Sullivan says they'll strive to minimise disruption.

Work is underway on the Tulla Road Active Travel Scheme in Ennis. The project will deliver a continuous 2.2 kilometre primary cycle route and enhanced walking and wheeling facilities on the Tulla Road. Pedestrian crossings are to be upgraded while new crossings will be introduced, junctions will be tightened and various other traffic calming measures will be implemented. Clare County Council estimates the works will take 18 months to complete and has confirmed construction will take place in seven phases, with phase one from Gort na mBláth and Hillcrest expected to take 12 weeks. Clare FM's Seán Lyons spoke with Clare County Council Senior Executive Engineer Anne O'Sullivan to find out more about the background to the project and the schedule of works.

We (the Active Travel Adventures Community) are looking at a group of us booking the entire ship (24 guests maximum) for a week in July of 2027 to explore the northern Friesland region of the Netherlands.  I am still working out the details, but is should be under €2000 per person, double occupancy.  Note that we would sail in '27 NOT '26. When I interviewed my affiliate Boat Bike Tours top guide Tamara (Tammy) about her personal favorite European tour, she said hands down it was Friesland, in northern Holland: beautiful scenery, interesting culture and history and best of all, most people don't even know about it, so it's not over-touristed like so many cool destinations. I am now seeing what interest there is in reserving this boutique, comfy ship.   Even though the tour is offered self-guided, and you can certainly do this using the app and map, we want to bring Tammy and another guide along, because guides add so much color to our exploration.  They know the history and have great background stories, and they know the best places to see and stop, etc.   Like my recent ATA Portuguese Way Camino group, where we went "Solo/Together", this would be the same:  each day you can decide whether to ride with the group or self-guide, or even just sail with the ship and relax on board, or wander around town. We'd do this seven day boat and bike tour from a Friday to Friday.  The port is easy to reach by a one hour train from Amsterdam.   GET MORE INFORMATION HERE Other possible ATA Group Tours: Kumano Kodo - Japan : solo/together unguided Iceland : guided Austrian Alps : guided El Camino de la Plata (Spanish route starts in Seville): two stages  : solo/together unguided Amalfi Coast : guided Contact Kit to express interest   Get FREE Travel Planners, Checklists and Packing Lists for ATA adventures (and each month you will get an email from Kit with links to all future Travel Planners (no spam promise!).  Get the monthly newsletter here.

Unite has called a strike over its public sector pay dispute and says it comes after the Government cancelled its most recent meeting at short notice, and also didn't respond to correspondence.

It's being argued that Ennis has failed to deal with parking deficits. Following a motion he raised in November 2023 which found that Ennis had lost 159 car parking spaces in fifteen years, Clarecastle Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan has this week requested an update on any further losses. Ennis MD has said in a response that while some spaces have been lost to public realm works, Active Travel measures and Safe Routes to School projects, the new Cloister Car Park and Lidl store on the Clare Road will soon bring almost 350 spaces on stream. Councillor O'Callaghan claims no efforts have been made to fix the previously identified parking space shortfall.

It's claimed Clare's not getting bang for its buck on active travel projects due to a "frustrating" overspend on consultants. New figures obtained by Clare FM show the council has spent €2.4M on outside expertise to help design for greenways, pedestrian crossings and cycle lanes in the past five years, with over €1m alone going to the West Clare Greenway. This is despite €550,000 been allocated in government grants to Clare County Council's internal active travel office in the last two years. Inagh-based Deputy Leader of the Green Party Roisín Garvey has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan she believes the process could be much more efficient.

UK's BEST Walking Holidays - Self Guided Hiking Vacations Walk the charming countryside of England, Scotland or Wales in the United Kingdom on one of these fantastic long distance paths! Your holiday will be self-guided, so you walk at your own pace on your own timetable, stopping to savor a tea break or grabbing a meal or a pint at the pub.  Your luggage is transported to each evening's charming inn, so all you have to carry is your day pack. Breakfast is included, so either stop for lunch or pack a lunch for your walk, and then enjoy a local restaurant in the historic village that is your home for the night. Meet plenty of locals and fellow international walkers on these famous and historic old trading paths.  Since they were the original route that folks moved from town to town, they naturally chose the easiest route, so most of today's routes are fairly modest - and remember that they don't have many high mountains in the UK regardless!  However, you will need to train so your feet and body are used to walking long distances day after day. Walking holidays have become one of my favorite ways to explore a region.  Discover why on today's show. If you are interested in a walking holiday in Europe, I recommend going with my affiliate One Foot Abroad.  Email me for a One Foot Abroad Promo Code ( the OFA Promo Code also works for their sister company, Follow the Camino who can help you plan your Camino).

Patagonia Part I: Hike the W Trek in Argentina  Patagonia ranks in my Top 3 of the ‘Most Beautiful Places' I've seen (and I've been to 50 countries and all seven continents).  The rugged granite mountains are often snow capped in glaciers lit up by the sun.  Those same glaciers have turned its many lakes into stunning milky blue and teal oasis that defy description. In Patagonia, you can hike one of most beautiful hikes in the world, the W-Trek including the French Valley and Grey Lake.  You can also sea kayak around the icebergs and glacier in Grey Lake.  On our trip, we also got in some amazing biking when we were over on the Argentinian side after we hiked and checked out the gorgeous Perito Moreno glacier.  We spent some time eating and exploring the fun gateway cities of Puerto Morales, Punta Arenas, El Chaltan, and El Calafate. In this Part I, we hike the stunningly beautiful W-Trek in Chile [ 49.7 miles / 80 km · Total Elevation Gain: 8,956 ft / 2,730 ] over the course of four days, all the way to glacial Lake Grey. We stay in refugios, where we also get a hot and tasty breakfast and dinner each night.

The Grand Canyon is the United States' 15th national park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also considered one of the Great Wonders of the World. Ontario-based climber Mike Grainger talks about his experience whitewater rafting on the Colorado River.

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Robert Fletcher and have him share his experiences of cycling from Alaska to Argentina as a 81 year old! Robert came up with the idea of Octo Odyssey as a way of celebrating turning 80.  His original idea was to cycle from the North Pole, Alaska to Panama City where he would set a world record.  He successfully did this - setting the record for the longest continuous journey undertaken on an electric bicycle.  But Robert didn't want his trip to end there.  He waited out the colder winter months and then set off to continue the journey all the way to Ushuaia, Argentina.  A total distance of over 26,500kms!  He believes he is the oldest person to have completed this journey. Quite an incredible effort.Robert shared a lot of his past experiences of his travel adventures - from his early cycle touring trips where navigation devices and the age of the internet were not in existence - to his previous trip from Alaska to Central America.  His advice for others considering doing a trip like this in their older age - Just do it!Listening to this episode is sure to inspire you and fill you with a sense of wanderlust for adventure.Be sure to follow Robert via the links below to keep an eye out on his future adventures.Website - www.octooydssey.comFacebook - Octogenarian OdysseyInstagram - @OctoOdysseyBook - Octogenarian Odyssey.
