Tibet 1994

For five months in the thin air of Tibet and Western China I made my way over dirt tracks and around Chinese police checkpoints. Throughout most of history this part of the planet has remained closed to Western travelers. During the spring and summer of 1994 only a few short portions of my 3300-mile bicycle trip crossed sections of Tibet and China that were officially open to foreigners.

My 3300-mile bicycle trip is the subject of the free ebook, "A Different Kind of Freedom". To find out more about this journey and to download the ebook click here


 
Tibet 1998

In the spring of 1998, I traveled with two friends throughout the western Himalaya. We cycled some of the highest and most desolate roads in the world. Over the course of four months of cycling we covered more than 2000 miles [3333 km], and climbed more than 98,000 vertical feet [29,800 vertical meters].

Tibet 1996 It was during the early fall of 1996 that the I set off to cross Tibet from the North to the South. This journey started in the heartland of central China and took me across the north plains of Tibet to the fabled city of Lhasa, Tibet. From there I traveled southward finally reaching Kathmandu, Nepal. In all I cycled more than 2000 miles / 3333 KM.
