From A2B

Covering 35,000km through 27 countries couldn’t be that hard, Nic Cuthbert figured. But for someone who’d only been riding six months and barely set foot overseas, maybe it could be.

I was hugging the mountain on a narrow rocky road, crawling around a blind turn on a sheer, 600-metre cliff face with my front wheel centimetres from the edge, and it gave me an uneasy feeling. Kunzum La Pass in the Indian Himalayas isn’t everyone’s cup of chai. Riding at 3500m elevation with the constant threat of avalanche, and passing out due to acute mountain sickness a real possibility, tests a man’s courage. For me the infamous road, documented in the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers; World’s Deadliest Roads was all that it was cracked up to be and more. But that’s not where this story starts.
