I took that route to Olgii.
That was one helluva lung-busting arm-wrenching (dragging the bike) climb to the top of the pass, but definitely worth it for the hell-raising downhill on the other side! And the views were lovely too. Uchiit Nuur is not a lake to stop long at though - the mosquitoes were ferocious! My legs are now itching like crazy.
Wasn't so keen on the soft or corrugated gravelly tracks after that but the canyon was indeed lovely. Took 3 days.
Thanks again for the suggestion colebatch.
Off to Russia tomorrow...
