Tonight at 7pm PST, will be episode 5, of this 6 one-hour series. Actors and friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman star in and co-produce this new Bravo series chronicling their four-month transcontinental journey by motorcycle.
Through six one-hour episodes, Long Way Round shows the actors in a way the audience has never seen them before, utterly left to their own devices and foregoing their more comfortable lifestyle. Their journey takes them over 20,000 miles, circumnavigating the longest continuous landmass on earth through the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Siberia, Alaska and Canada before arriving in the Untied States. As would be expected, they encounter hardships along the way, including cultural and language barriers as they pitch tents and attempt to live off the land. The journey is not only a test of their endurance, but a cultural lesson as well – as they take part in a range of activities native to the lands they traverse.
2 men...2bikes(BMW R1150 GS)...20,000 miles...it has been a great series to watch. This sort of adventure touring really appeals to me, and I'd like to do a ride someday from Alaska to the tip of Baja, or something like that.
Anyways, if you get a chance, I would recommend catchin' these episodes from Bravo if ya like this sort of thing. :mix:
