  4. The Road of Bones Breakfast at the Ace

    Posted on

    Join Compass Expeditions as they depart from Ace Cafe London on the morning of Sunday 20th May 2012 bound for Magadan, at the terminus of the Road of Bones, a journey of 17,800 miles.
      
    Compass Expeditions became the first commercial group to ever successfully ride the legendary Road of Bones after eight adventurous riders and four co-riders set out from Ace in 2011, returning tired and dirty, but elated 102 days later.
     
    With a crew of three, fourteen adventure riders and four co-riders, Compass Expeditions invites motorcyclists of all machines and interested parties to join them for breakfast between 7.30am - 8.30am and wave them off as they attempt to ride across a quarter of the earths surface.
     
    Ride leader Mick McDonald says "Yes it may seem like an un-godly hour, but an early start will fade into insignificance as the days turn into weeks that then turn into months of this epic expedition."
