Turkey
From historic treasures to exotic bazaars and festive nightlife, Istanbul is the perfect start to the GlobeRiders' 8,000 mile trek across Eurasia.

Central Asia
The Riders head into Uzbekistan where political unrest threatens their safety, and the team is forced to ride in convoy under the watchful eyes of local police. One of the riders is injured at the Kazakhstan border.
China
Dangerous riding conditions plague the team as it makes its way into China with road construction, detours, traffic, and fatigue making things difficult as the bikers head to their final destination. Their stops include a visit to The Great Wall and pigskin rafting on the Yellow River.
Southern Vietnam

Northern Vietnam & Laos
The expedition heads for the lush and perilous mountainous region of northern Vietnam where they are nearly defeated by muddy roads, and Chris is attacked by a Malaysian sun bear.
Cambodia
The group makes its way through rain and rice fields where they forge a river and see the few remaining, nearly extinct river dolphins. They also witness families who live on portable houseboats and raise fish in cages underneath their houses.
Northern Thailand
The bikers get stranded at the Thai border when a shock absorber breaks, then have a dangerous nighttime encounter with wild elephants before making it to "Loei Bike Week" where rock music, dancing girls, and fabulous food awaits them.
Southern Thailand & Malaysia
