Outer Mongolia - by Mountain Bike // Mongolia X Project 2012 HD

Outer Mongolia - by Mountain Bike // Mongolia X Project 2012 HD from Brian Perich on Vimeo.

This video is a 13 minute trailer part of the MongoliaX2012 expedition project on a mountain bike.
Last summer, I completed a challenging 2500 km overland expedition across Outer Mongolia between Russia and China. The expedition lasted 45 days, 38 days actively mountain biking across the Steppe grasslands and mountainous deserts and forests of the northern rim.

Accumulating approximately 40,000 meters (131, 234 feet) vertical altitude change across 2500km of arid Mongolian Steppe on a unique route I planned myself.  I wore through 10 replacement rubber truck tube soles I glued on a single pair of SPD-Shimano compatible Pearl Izumi mountain biking shoes and underwent a years physiotherapy following the expedition in the summer of 2012.

I went for adventure, cultural experience, endurance and to experience the world learning through experiencing life on a mountain bike.

For a comparison of altitude changes across Mongolia's rugged mountains:
"Scientists supported by the National Geographic and Boston's Museum of Science were able to operate Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite equipment on the very top of Mount Everest last May and have determined the precise height of the world's tallest mountains. The revised elevation - 29,035 feet (8850 meters), two meters or seven feet higher than the previously accepted figure - was announced Nov. 11, 1999" This article is reprinted from the Mountain Zone web site (mountainzone.com)

My expedition was supported by LYNSKEY PERFORMANCE, USA using their hand-made titanium frame, the M240S. I would like to thank them all for supporting and encouraging expeditions globally.

Over the last several years, I have been working with two amazing foundations working in community, the first is IDEAS which touches very close to my heart.  IDEAS is led by global explorer/mountaineer Robert Hill of Canada, who successfully completed his No Guts, Know Glory 7 Summits Campaign (including Mount Everest in 2010) with an ostomy as a measure to improve his life living with IBD.

IBD is the collective name for Crohns Disease or CD and Ulcerative Colitis ,UC which are chronic, long-term conditions requiring serious medical treatment or surgeries to help those millions of patients around the planet inflicted with this debilitating disease. Inspiration is the key to survival on Earth, no matter what circumstances we live through, there is always a cure to struggles with dedication, determination, positivism and personal growth that comes with overcoming the biggest and almost impossible odds against us.

DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE IN YOU, JUST TRY HARDER NEXT TIME.

Since there is a long road to find a cure, I am in to ride for others who can share my triumphs, and I hope to spread the word about INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IBD because it's a voice to a community that needs hope and support, I admire Rob Hill for continuing his community work with the IDEAS Foundation of Canada.

The second foundation is linking schools and formal education with exploring - this is innovative and something I strongly believe in. I explored in partnership with Education Through Expeditions, founded by Arctic and Polar Explorer friend, Antony Jinman of Plymouth, UK. Antony has overcome enormous obstables in his life to bring forth adventure into the classrooms, while undertaking expeditions in Arctic regions of Canada. He is an inspiration and a true leader in his community. I was proud to represent his valuable foundation through Adventure mountain biking the globe as an Explorer Ambassador with ETE in 2011.


I am now affiliated with the Ted Simon Foundation, as a Jupiter Traveller as of late 2012. I look forward to supporting the foundation and sharing expeditions with the world, as I ride mountain bikes.

I hope you enjoy the amateur videos, it's a short and I am not a film maker. But I do enjoy new adventures.

Winter is a time for Dreaming, Inspiration! ...Cycling to Light!!!

Around the northern hemisphere of our world, we enter the toughest season for feeling motivated, positive, and determined to achieve our success. 

Do not give up HOPE, just try a little harder to see the LIGHT in the DARKNESS. 

Bicycle riding and bicycle touring are my means to find inspiration between the dark days of winter. Enjoy, I will share this inspiration with you, return if you need a boost of positive energy. Recharge yourself from the inside-out. Exercise is key to your health. (: 

Photos are winter cycling in Korea. The other photos come from HimalayasX2011, an expedition starting in a Dream in Korea,  turning to Adventure starting around Beijing and continuing across western China in the summer of 2011.

Famous Quotes - From those who chose the road to inspiration, never stuck on the ice.

"It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels." ~ Heinz Stucke 

"If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on." ~ Lance Armstrong 

 "Anything is possible. You can be told you have a 90 percent chance, or a 50 percent chance or a 1 percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight."~ Lance Armstrong 

"Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike." ~ John F. Kennedy 

"When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others.  Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle."  ~ Elizabeth West 

"Think of bicycles as ride-able art that can just about save the world." ~ Grant Petersen 

"To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles." ~ Lance Armstrong

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." ~ Lao Tzu 

 "When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race." ~ H.G. Wells

 "Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live." ~ Mark Twain 

"The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine." ~ John Howard

"Things look different from the seat of a bike carrying a sleeping bag with a cold beer tucked inside."  ~ Jim Malusa

 "Cycling is unique. No other sport lets you go like that - where there's only the bike left to hold you up. If you ran as hard, you'd fall over. Your legs wouldn't support you." ~ Steve Johnson

 "After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable.  A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go.  You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow."  ~ H.G. Wells

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.  Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."  ~ Ernest Hemingway

"Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia."  ~ H.G. Wells

 "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." ~ Albert Einstein
