The ride - London to Beijing

Renowned endurance rider Kevin Sanders puts together a team of ordinary people, trains them and leads them on an expedition like seldom seen before --- 21,000-kilometer bike ride from London to Beijing!

This group of mostly young novice bikers would pass through some of the most arduous and stunning terrains on the planet that would include highest navigable passes and the majestic Himalayas.

This is one of the toughest adventure challenges in the world, following the fabled Silk Road, across Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan where the trail heads South into remotest Tibet reaching Everest Base Camp and Lhasa before heading North across the vast expanse of China to Beijing. The team, en route, will battle high altitude sickness, unpredictable avalanches and landslides, swollen rivers and traffic chaos in addition to the inherent risk of passing through a politically volatile region.

Join Kevin and his team on one of the most sensational rides in the world!
