A STORY FROM THE SILK ROAD MOUNTAIN RACE, 1700KM OF UNSUPPORTED CYCLING IN KYRGYZSTAN • Looking at the statistics, the Silk Road Mountain Race is certainly a challenge that most of us would be scared of from the start, but when you embrace the adventure the right way, it takes on a new meaning. Finishing, or even just starting, can be an emotional rollercoaster where excitement, doubt, fear, happiness and relief play in your mind through every single pedal stroke.
