Below is a few vague ideas of sections of the ride that people may like to join in
on. Have a look at the
Timetable page to better get an idea of when we are going
to be in these places and how long it will take. We are planning to ride about 500
km per week or a 100 km per day for 5 days and then 2 days off.

If you are interested in joining in then please drop us an
email.

We
really need a few people to join us from Kathmandu to Lhasa via Everest
Base Camp. At the moment the Chinese government requires all tourists in the
Tibet region to have a guide and special visas. We can't afford a guide by
ourselves so need so people to come along and share the cost and the
experience.

Don't forget to check into your visa requirements to see how hard it may be to
come along with us. Some governments don't believe in making travel easy and
fun.
