Tough Rides | Season 1
China
With his brother Colin, Ryan set out to ride the entire way around China, and the brothers became the first people to ride a motorcycle the entire way around the country.
In an expedition of extremes, Colin and Ryan visited the third lowest point on Earth and slept at Everest Base Camp beside its highest mountain. They travelled off-road through deep desert sands in suffocating heat, crossed mountain passes in freezing temperatures, and rode in torrential rain through mudslides beside rapidly rising flood waters.
