is a historical path,

a link on the path

to independence

and freedom

for our entire nation.

And lots of Vietnamese

people's blood

has been shed on this road.

It is indeed a journey

that I believe

will be exciting and meaningful.

NGUYEN:
(IN VIETNAMESE)

I started biking when I was 16.

I became a cyclist

and was determined

to become

the best biker in Vietnam.

SPEAKS VIETNAMESE)

TRAN QUOC TUAN:
Huyen is an athlete

who was an idol

in Vietnamese cycling.

Because Huyen won four Southeast

Asia Games gold medals,

in four consecutive events.

For an athlete in Vietnam,

there has never been one

who claimed such a record.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

NGUYEN:
After putting an end

to my competing career,

I became a coach.

I've heard a lot about

the Ho Chi Minh Trail

since childhood.

Not until now

does my dream of riding

on the Ho Chi Minh Trail

come true.

I am quite nervous,

but also excited about it.

(HORNS BLARING)

I was looking for a long time.

Hello, hello.

Hello, hello.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for having me.

These are for you.

Thank you so much.

I'm very sorry because

my English is not very good.

Well, my Vietnamese sucks,

so your English is better.

So happy to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

Rebecca, this is my father.

NGUYEN:
(IN VIETNAMESE)

This is Rebecca.

RUSCH:
(IN VIETNAMESE)

It's nice to meet you.

NGUYEN:
(IN VIETNAMESE)

Both my uncle and my father

experienced

the American Resistance war.

At that time,

America was our enemy.

One big problem is how

to overcome

barriers among people,

to connect

their hearts and souls

so they can

understand each other.

Happy New Year.

making all this food. It's beautiful.

Huyen's father and my father

indirectly fought

each other in the war,

and it's extraordinary,

more than 40 years later,

that we can all sit down

at the dinner table

and share a meal together.

Cheers. Happy New Year,

Happy New Year.

RUSCH:
To a good journey. Yeah.

(GLASSES CLINK)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

RUSCH:
Our last major

challenge before starting

is mapping out the trail

and trying to make sense

of the complex route.

Don Duvall is an American

living in Laos.

He has spent most of his life

exploring and mapping

the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

He is an essential part

of our expedition because

he has really helped create

the most historically

accurate route for us to take.

DUVALL:
My background is

navigating sailing yachts

around the world

for almost 15 years,

and then I came

to Laos and started

map-making and surveying

on a motorcycle

on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

My role here with Rebecca's team

is to help them with navigation,
