Daniel: You are heading for some very rough territory. Geoff K. did a good write up of traveling that route here: http://dreamers1.com/russia/Tashanta/Tashanta.htm
The roads are 99% very rough dirt tracks. There are some river crossings, especially in the far west. How high and wide depends a lot on whether there has been recent rain.
I know you have been a long way in your tuk-tuk already, but I would recommend you go back north to Russia on the Ulan Ude road rather than try to exit Mongolia via the west.
We should talk when you get to UB. Hope to see you soon.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
