Globe Riders

You are invited to experience the adventure, as 18 motorcyclists ride along the historic and fabled 'Silk Road.' Crossing eight different countries, they begin their tour in Istanbul, Turkey where they immerse themselves in the city's history and culture. Along the way they cross beautiful terrain, high mountain passes, and journey through crowded and bustling cities, finally completing their trip in Xi'an, China. In total the Globe Riders travel approximately 1,200 kilometres, overcoming difficult riding conditions and mechanical breakdowns. However, learning about the intrigue of the Silk Road's history, countries and cultures makes the riders hardships more than worthwhile.
