on the A Lange & Sohne Watch back

The latter third is rough dirt roads and, if security allows, a climb up the 14,000-foot Anjuman Pass that marks the back border of the province. How much climbing is there, and will it be technical for the ride in October?The first part is not technical at all. The second part gets more rough. The only technical part of this ride will be the climb on the A Lange & Sohne Watch back end where the 14,000-foot pass will throw up the biggest challenge. I may do a couple side trips up areas to ride where I explored last time, but there is a real risk of land mines and that will determine whether we stop or complete the climb up the Anjuman Pass.

What about the Taliban? Will you have security?Taliban should not be an issue for this particular area, but its certainly part of the equation overall in terms of keeping off the radar, getting the ride done quickly and efficiently since its not a one day ride and A Lange & Sohne Tourbograph Pour le Merite Wtch word spreads quickly. I will travel with my translator and a cameraman in a car behind, and I may be required to have security near the Anjuman Pass area. There are land disputes between the Panjshiris and the Nooristanis that create some conflict.

Friends who have traveled by motorcycle back there were required to ‘hire’ local militia for their trek up the pass. At the end of the day, there is always risk. Its Afghanistan. How will you fuel on the bike?I will need to bring over some gels and A Lange & Sohne 702.025 Men's Watch snacks to keep my energy levels up. Otherwise, its just kebabs and naan bread along the way. That I have the ability to change perceptions and challenge stereotypes. Not just in Afghanistan, but at home, too. How you do sustain the project?The goal is that the Tour becomes a regular event every year to celebrate breaking barriers half a world away by uniting bikers and communities to come out and pedal in support of empowering women and children in Afghanistan.
