"To coincide with Ted’s presentation at Touratech, ABR magazine are holding their first rally in Wales the same weekend. Based at the nearby Ancient Briton pub, it’s a free entry event with camping on site.

As well as the more obvious attractions of a real log fire, great restaurant and up to 10 real ale’s on tap, there will also be organised, guided ride-outs, both purely road based and the option of some green lanes for the more adventurous.

It’s intended to be a low-key, informal event where like minded bikers can meet, greet, ride, eat, drink and fall over in equal measure. "


"We’re delighted to announce a chance to meet the man that effectively started it all – while not the first to travel round the world; he certainly put motorcycling on the map with his best selling books.

Now resident in the States, Ted only occasionally makes it back to our shores these days, so take advantage of this rare chance to hear from the main man and of course blag a signed book or three!

On 6th October 1973, at the age of 42, Ted set off from London on a 500cc Triumph Tiger motorcycle on what became a four year solo journey around the world, covering 64,000 miles through 45 countries. With the aim of discovering how the world had changed in the intervening 28 years, on 27th January 2001, aged 69, Ted embarked on a second journey. This time he rode a BMW R80 GS over 59,000 miles through 47 countries.

Ted's books, Jupiter's Travels, Riding High and Dreaming of Jupiter, continue to serve as an inspiration to other travellers who seek to know the world, and their place in it, through personal adventure. Ted will be at the nearby Wales Adventure Bike Rider Rally during the morning of 8th October and then at Touratech in the late afternoon to give a talk about his journeys and the new Foundation created in his name.

The Ted Simon Foundation is a new non-profit organisation that encourages those who adventure into the world to go the extra mile and transform their experiences into something of value for the world to share.
