Joe
Joe Carney, BSC, SSC. Athlete, thinker, snickers lover (or marathon if thats your thing).
Myself and the Japanese Mercedes Team conquered the Rickshaw Run in 2012. It was already clear that this was only the beginning.
New Team, new continent, new vehicle and new adventures! I'm once again taking time off from daily stress meltdown at a software company to have daily stress meltdowns, this time in the Amazon and the Andes.

This is going to be awesome...
Tom
Older, wiser and more learned brother of Joe. It was due to Joe's mad ramblings about the Rickshaw Run that Tom was encouraged to take part in the Mototaxi Junket - though quite why he was convinced this was a good idea is as yet unknown, especially after a read through of The Adventurists' Terms and Conditions... This is going to be one hell of a ride.
Three chums from brum, bonded together by either blood or booze. Two Carneys and a Burchett are off to challenge themselves and truly live. Because it is very easy to do things, and far more scary to contemplate them.
