In summer 2007, Chad Wiles and Allison Ansley, both Sierra Nevada College graduates, began to plot a bicycle route across Eurasia. Armed with ambition, a couple of visas, and two stout bicycles they set off from the coast of China and started riding west.

Six months and two days later they rode onto the beaches of the Netherlands with more than 7,000 miles of Eurasian trans-cultural experiences.

From the images gathered on their small cameras they have compiled the delicious and disgusting, the ordinary and amazing, the lovely and repugnant, and plenty of stops in between as they lived out on the world road.

They are excited to share preparatory and logistical information as well as other practical tips so others might feel more prepared to explore a big planet at this nice bicycling pace. They will also discuss their upcoming tour to the Black Sea region and the former Yugoslav republics.
