Helge Pederson of GlobeRiders is leading 17 motorcycles, riders, some passengers and a chase vehicle along the Silk Road from Istanbul to Xi’an passing through Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and China. The tour has all been arranged with visas, accomodations, most meals, three staff members and the route completely mapped out and loaded into individual GPS devices on the handlebars of each bike. Helge will have an INMARSAT transmitter on his bike that will transmit the group’s position to a satellite every 30 minutes and retransmitted to his webmaster in Seattle so an Internet audience can follow along. Preliminary info is at Dean’s Silk Road Adventure website hosted on GlobeRiders.

G’day from Oz,
What are you doing once you’ve reached Xi’an?
You wouldn’t be going back the other way would you?
I’m currently planning a trip (starting from Ausrtalia) taking in the Silk Road from East to West.
How do you get on for Visas in all the ‘stan’ countries?
Best Regards,
Mark Wellers
This sounds like an awsome trip…Is it difficult to obtain the visas and are they expensive etc????? Thanks for everything… Have a wicked trip!!!!
