GR About us

About us

Greenrock is based in London and run by Joe Mearns and Laura Stone. Joe has been running international bike rides since 1990 when he designed and rode what became the foundation for all future Greenrock rides: a 1220-mile bike ride from Warsaw to London via Paris for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Laura is a former Rough Guide travel writer and photographer, and author of Himalaya by Bike, published by Trailblazer Guides. Greenrock has been a limited company since 1999.

Dave O’Brien is the lynchpin of our backup team on our tours and Jennie Flory deals with the nitty gritty of Greenrock from the company base in Somerset. Our website and design are done by the fantastic team at Fresh01 (www.fresh01.com), led by Kurt Ozficici.

We distill our expertise of travelling and running tours around the world into designing each of our trips. The Greenrock team will always go the extra mile to get you to the finish – and we haven’t failed anyone yet!
