    Hello MCM friends,

    I just wanted to introduce this new thread for all our POST PRODUCTION / POST RIDE news about The Middle Kingdom Ride. (www.mkride.com)

    For those who are not familiar with our journey, the MKRIDE was (past tense) a 65 day - 17,674km - motorcycle odyssey around China by Canadian brothers Ryan & Colin Pyle. Our journey was a counter-clockwise circumnavigation of China. We safely completed our journey on October 17th 2010, and have now begun editing our documentary film and working on our written book; both of which will be published and available in 2011.

    Watch this space, and our website (www.mkride.com) for updates and information.

    Colin and I wanted to extend a warm thank you to all the MCM friends that were involved in helping the MKRIDE team in getting around China. Several MCM bloggers actually took action when we had breakdowns and without their help and support we would have never completed our journey. To those of you out there, and you know who you are, thank you again. Colin and I both hope we can return the favor sometime in the near future.

    Ride Safe.

    Felix,

    That image was taking on the road from Kashgar to Tashgorkan, along the Karakoram Hwy. The mountain in the background is the Musta Aga'ta mountain and just beside it is Krakol lake. A stunning part of the world. Feels like years ago, but it was just in September.

    Thanks for the info Ryan! I suspected it was labeled wrong on the BMW magazine where they wrote Mongolia under it. I've been thinking about that region a lot lately after reading your and a couple of other reports. I must admit i'm very, very tempted to try a trip out there...
    What is the military presence like in that area? You are getting quite close to the 'stans, does it get tense? Was it easier to travel around freely there than it was when you got into eastern tibet?

    Hello,

    Ryan and Colin are keen to direct your attention to an article written by Ryan in the Canadian Motorcycle Guide, an online magazine and forum for Canadian riders globally. Check out the article, pictures and the amazing layout.

    According to BMW magazine:
    they became the first riders to fully circumnavigate China by motorcycle in one continuous journey
    This is a bit of a hyped bold claim, especially without going to Heilongjiang province! Also not being allowed through Tibet.

    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.
