Description
Fresh from their Guinness World Record breaking tough ride around China, adventure motorcyclists Ryan and Colin Pyle are gearing up for a completely new challenge – an epic 14,000 kilometer, 54 day circumnavigation around India. Tough Rides: India takes the biker brothers from the crowded capital city of New Delhi to the isolated northern Himalayan regions, back down to the rain forests of the southeast and up the tiger infested jungles of Bengal. Colin and Ryan Pyle will travel around a country full of contrasts, one minute India is colorful and vibrant, the next crowded and chaotic. Their biggest challenge will be taking on some of the planet’s most dangerous roads.
Ryan Pyle, born in Toronto, Canada, spent his early years close to home. After obtaining a degree in International Politics from the University of Toronto in 2001, Ryan realized a lifelong dream and travelled to China on an exploratory mission. In 2002 Ryan moved to China permanently and in 2004 he became a regular contributor to the New York Times. In 2009 Ryan was listed by PDN Magazine as one of the 30 emerging photographers in the world. In 2010 Ryan began working full time on television and documentary film production and has produced and presented several large multi-episode television series for major broadcasters in the USA, Canada, UK, Asia, China and continental Europe.
