Jurre is a true all-rounder. A very gifted mechanic, technically excellent and ensures that all bicycles and materials remain in top condition. Cycling is his great passion;
gravel, mountain bike and race are all hobbies for him.
He will combine his studies with Cycle Travel cycling vacations and also works at a specialist bike store on the weekends.

Cycling is in the blood of this entrepreneur. Ralf has been active on the road bike since he was 8 years old. From 1992 onwards, he fell under the spell of mountain biking. As a late bloomer, Ralf rode as a semi-pro from 1998 to 2002 with the AA Drink and Be One teams, among others.

In 2002 he founded a new team together with some boys. This team became a boy's dream team with an immediate professional status after the first year and several talents who, through this team, were able to make their profession out of it. For Ralf these were the first steps into self-employment.

He then became owner and manager of the Dolphin Trek mountain bike team with the likes of Bart Brentjens, Rudi van Houts, Alban Lakata, Nico Vink and many others with the ultimate sporting goal of reaching the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Ralf has organized trips and incentives for sponsors and partners of the team during his time on the team.

After his career, he got into retail where he organized several clinics and cycling vacations for clients. In 2020, Ralf sold his Cycle Trend store and went back to focusing on his old passion.

"Because of my passion for cycling and travel, what I love most about Cycle Travel is taking the experiences of the past and making them accessible to everyone now. What it's like to ride on a team and show people the most beautiful locations and routes around the world!"

Mirtha will put a smile on her face, push the limits and remind you that there is more to life than your typical 9-5 job.

When not seeking adventure, Mirtha drinks coffee and recharges her energy in Vancouver, BC - where she races her bike in the summer and skis into the British Columbia backcountry mountains in the winter.

Eric sadly passed away on September 5, 2021.
His battle against the disease ALS was an unfair one....
