Londoner Kevin Sanders (45) is finalising preparations before leading the first GlobeBusters' Silk Road, London to Beijing motorcycle expedition.
The expedition leaves the Ace Cafe in North London on Saturday, 17 April.
This groundbreaking 12,000-mile motorcycle journey includes riding the Afghan border in Tajikistan on one of the world's highest altitude roads and reaching Mount Everest Base Camp at over 5,300 metres, before entering the mysterious city of Lhasa and then heading east to Beijing.
Sanders, born in Tottenham, cut his teeth as an adventurous rider early on.
In his early 20s he worked for West One Couriers and recently said that Chinese traffic reminded him of his days dodging traffic in London.
He later ran a motorcycle training company in Cambridge, before establishing GlobeBusters, the worldwide motorcycle adventure travel company, with his wife Julia.
Sanders is inviting motorcyclists to join the start of the extreme London to Beijing journey from 7.30am (17 April) at the Ace Café.
London riders can experience the buzz of excitement at the start of the adventure.
The 17-strong group will depart at 9am.
