Follow Ryan Pyle around China on an F800GS BMW

Ryan's photos can be seen in the New York Times, Time, Newsweek, Outside Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, and Der Spiegel. He's a fantastic photographer, and his images have a way of capturing past, present, and future, all at once. I just received this email to follow him and his brother, Colin, as they circumnavigate China (18,651km) on an F800GS BMW enduro bike.
I thought you might want to follow and see China through the lens of his camera.

Hello.
I just wanted to write a brief email to introduce you to a new project that will get started in about 20 days. It's name is "The Middle Kingdom Ride".
The project will involve both myself and my brother, Colin Pyle, circumnavigating China by BMW motorcycle. To date, no one has ever attempted such a journey; we have the opportunity to be the first. Our 60 day - 20,000km - journey will take us through some of the most remote and populated regions of the world. To say the least, it will be an epic journey.
You can follow us on our dedicated website: www.mkride.com.
You can also follow us on our blog: www.mkride.com/blog
Colin and I will be writing throughout our journey with the goal of producing a co-authored book, as well as a documentary film and of course I'll be taking pictures the entire time. Our 60 day journey will take us on a "once in a lifetime" adventure. We hope that you opt to follow our journey and connect with us while we are on the road. We depart on Saturday August 14th 2010 @ 6am from my home in Shanghai, China.
Colin and I will be sure to stay in touch.
You can connect with us on: FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUTUBE
The Middle Kingdom Ride wouldn't happen without our wonderful SPONSORS: BMW, Touratech, Airhawk, Pelican, Kodak, Oakley, Cardo Systems, Lowe Pro & Mandarin House.

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
