In 1999, the New Millennium Ride crossed North Asia and finished the first stage of the Seoul to Lisbon ride in Northeast Europe - 17,119 kilometers (10,614 miles ) from the start. In 2000 the New Millennium Ride will complete a sweep of Europe, from Sicily to Europe's northern-most point and then to the finish at Europe's western-most point (estimated 16,000 kilometers or 9,920 miles). | ||
