"It's a wonderful feeling to share our the story of our incredible 65 day motorcycle journey around China. Our epic motorcycle adventure was easily the most exhilarating, exhausting, and rewarding, travel experience of my life. Ryan Pyle"

加拿大人白锐匀(Ryan Pyle)于2002年移居中国，是一名颇有影响力的自由摄影师。他行走在中国的土地上，为包括《华尔街日报》(The Wall Street Journal)在内的多家媒体进行了大量拍摄工作。2010年，在和弟弟科林(Colin)动身开始环游中国时，他将镜头对准了自己，记录下了兄弟俩历时65天、行程11,000英里（约合17,700公里）──这一数字打破了吉尼斯世界纪录──的驾摩托车环游中国之旅。

兄弟俩用录像机记录下了他们的旅程，还写了一本记录他们途中见闻的书，书名叫作《穿越中国之旅：俩兄弟，俩摩托，一段史诗般的旅程》(The Middle Kingdom Ride: Two Brothers, Two Motorcycles, One Epic Journey Around China)。

Ryan Pyle and Colin Pyle have Released their New Book The Middle Kingdom Ride about their World Record Setting 18,000km Journey Around China on Motorcycles
Canadian brothers Ryan Pyle and Colin Pyle have just released their book, The Middle Kingdom Ride, about their epic 18,000km odyssey around China on motorcycles. Available on Amazon Today.

 When Canadian brothers Colin and Ryan Pyle set out from Shanghai on a motorcycle journey that had never previously been attempted, they thought they had some idea of what lay ahead of them. It was a misconception that had become evident by the end of Day 1. But, despite the many challenges they faced, 65 days and 18,000 km later they'd succeeded in circumnavigating China.

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 traveled off-road through deep desert sands in suffocating heat, traversed mountain passes in freezing temperatures that turned the moisture in their clothes to ice, and rode in torrential rain through mudslides beside rapidly rising flood waters.

At the end of their remarkable journey, the brothers had strengthened the bond between them, gained a Guinness World Record, tested their endurance to its limits, and shared an adventure that most of us will only ever dream of having.

In their book The Middle Kingdom Ride, available on Amazon, Colin and Ryan take us with them as they travel through the diverse and extraordinary landscapes of China, from its border with North Korea, to the ancient Muslim city of Kashgar, across the vast empty spaces of the Mongolian grasslands, over the mountains and into the monasteries of Tibet.

Colin and Ryan Pyle are brothers from Toronto, Canada. But that's about all they have in common. Ryan has spent the last decade in China building his career as a Documentary Photographer. Colin stayed closer to home, in Toronto, and built up, and sold, his own successful currency trading company. Together they endured an epic journey engaging with China's massive population, crowded cities, abundant minorities and its stunning natural landscape. China truly offers a traveler an experience like no other. Colin and Ryan have titled their project, The Middle Kingdom Ride, as China's historical name was once The Middle Kingdom.
