“Endlessly Challenging, Fascinating And Fulfilling” – Silk Route Riders Speak Out

 

The 2023 Silk Route came to a successful conclusion a couple months ago and it seems like the riders really enjoyed their cycling adventure across Central Asia from Almaty to Istanbul. Here are some of the reviews the cyclists sent us regarding their experiences.

“Our Silk Roads ride was endlessly challenging, fascinating and fulfilling. All six countries along the way offered us spectacular scenery, delightful encounters with local people and a real sense of the vast history that has shaped people and places down through the millennia. The good humour, help and friendship of my travelling companions – riders and crew – brightened every day, solved every problem and heightened every memorable moment throughout the tour.” – Rod Oram (New Zealand)

“Probably the greatest travel experience we have had ever !!!!!” – Soren Schriver (Denmark)

“It was such a pleasure to explore the sights, sounds, nature, and geology of this beautiful and friendly historic region in our two wheels caravan.” – Warwick Board (Canada)

“It is a fantastic tour with so many experiences in nature, culturally and together with other people being curious to both cycling and experiencing culture. The countries are very interesting and beautiful, and the people are very friendly and open towards us as cyclists.” – Nina Schriver (Denmark)

“I loved every minute of the tour – the route, the local people, the riders, the staff and all the exercise.” – Joanne Challen (Canada)

“A TDA trip is always difficult to describe when you get home to family and friends. It’s unique, it’s a challenge to yourself, it’s an opportunity to meet a new group of interesting people from all over the world, it’s an opportunity to bike through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, it’s a chance (on a rest day) to experience and wander through some towns or cities that you would never see otherwise, and it’s a culinary experience both for the camp food and the local food. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all four of the TDA trips that I’ve been on.” – Gary Hoffman (USA)
