Road of Bones Expedition departs today from London‏

Today is the day that the 14 riders and support vehicle depart from London's Ace café heading 28,500 kilometres East with final destination Magadan, Eastern Russia. Along the way they will pass through 16 countries, ride through all weather conditions and experience some of the best adventure motorcycling in the world.

Compass Expeditions founder Mick McDonald is undertaking this challenging ride for the third time as ride leader and for most it is an opportunity to ride the Road of Bones which has long been a part of Motorcycle Culture due to the previous expeditions of the likes of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. For the 2014 Expedition, the group will be accompanied by award-winning documentary filmmaker Robin Newell of Thought Films, who will be producing a DVD of this epic journey.

We'd also like to thank Touratech, BMW Motorrad, Motorworks UK for their support of this Expedition and of course Simon Pavey for support and Rider Training at Off Road Skills in Wales.

Also thanks to Charley Boorman who has been doing a wonderful job of promoting Adventure Motorcycling worldwide and who we've enjoyed the pleasure of working with over the last couple of years.
