MEET THE CREW
cultural collaboration, first person perspectives, views from the saddle
Chasing highs is about discovery, getting out there, exploring our remarkable planet and seeing it all for yourself. On your bike, there’s no window to restrict the view, you can feel, taste and breathe in the environment in a way that is truly unique to cycling.
Meet the Contributors, our crew of seasoned cyclists who have clocked up more than a few kilometres in the saddle and have countless stories to share. Read about their experiences in the Journal and find our tried and tested rides the Route Library.

OLLIE AMHURST
CO-FOUNDER
Entrepreneur, life-enthusiast and all round energy bringer. Ollie inspired the original epic ride from San Fran to LA and engineered several routes covered in our guide books including Pisa to Saint Tropez.
WHERE TO NEXT?
There’s so much more to come. We have cycle routes planned around the south coast of Sicily, exploring Spanish Basque country from Bilbao to Zaragoza in the Aragon region, an Italian coast-to-coast crossing from Puglia to Amalfi, a complete tour of Mallorca… the list goes on, and that only covers a handful of the upcoming European locations.
The possibilities across the globe from the United States, New England to California, Australia’s east coast, Africa, Asia and beyond are endless. There simply aren’t enough days in the year and miles in our legs to cover the list of routes we have in mind, so our team of contributors are here to share their journeys with our growing community of cyclists.
All our rides, whether between cities or regional loops, are vetted to ensure they’re safe for cyclists and capture the best the area has to offer. If you’ve explored great places by bike, get in touch via email, Instagram or Facebook, we’d love to hear from you.
Every travel guide book and GPX route we publish helps open up our world to eco-friendly tourism for others to discover. We all need to give back to the countries and areas we visit, which is why our profits go directly to support charities working to preserve the environments we cycle in, for generations to come.
