Two times Guinness World Record holder Kevin Sanders meets the team for the first time and attempts to prepare the novice bikers for the ride of their lives!

The team hit the notorious Pamir Highway - riding the Afghanistan border. A crash out here could spell disaster!

The Irkeshtam pass: Altitude 4200 meters - snow, ice - impassable. Bikes are dropping left and right as the team struggle through an impenetrable snowstorm - this could be the end!

Max, the youngest team member is seriously ill with severe altitude sickness. With no medical help for hundreds of miles his life hangs in the balance.

With one biker down the remaining riders are battling their way to Everest Base Camp.

The bikers take their lives in their hands as they fight through the busiest roads on the planet. Have they got enough left in the tank to make it to Beijing?
