The world’s most beautiful white sand beaches belong to the shorelines of Bora Bora, where we’ll pedal along the silky smooth ribbon of pavement that traces this world famous coastline. Because these islands are protected by reefs, the water in the surrounding lagoons is serene and crystalline.
While each island is large enough to ride all day long in the shade of the palm trees, the size of the islands offers up an assortment of post-lunch options. Each afternoon there’s ample time for beach-combing, snorkeling, kayaking, hikes, jet skis, scuba, or yes… even more cycling.

This route takes you from Coolah, through charming Binnaway, and into the vibrant town of Coonabarabran, known as the gateway to the Warrumbungle National Park.

The route follows the Silk Road northwest before dropping back south in Central Asia. Included are visits to destinations definitely off the beaten track - the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan where we will climb to over 4600 meters and cycle across the 'Roof of the World' and distant Mongolia, where riders will cycle along ancient trading routes through the vast steppes and meet the country's nomadic people, experiencing their age-old traditions.

Silk Route participants will ride to the mystical Central Asian cities of Samarqand, Bukhara and Khiva, and camp amongst the stunning meadows, rivers and peaks of Kyrgyzstan. There are points where quietness pervades and where the original travellers of the Silk Route seem to be just beyond the next hill, beckoning cyclists further along this arduous trek. Time and time again, riders will be amazed at the layers of history emerging from the sand, shake their heads at all that has been lost and take heart from all that is being preserved and created. Each group of Silk Route riders will be enriched by an intricate knowledge of ancient lands crossed and the inspiration that comes from sharing a grand adventure with new friends and fellow nomads.
