Cycling from Mongolia to ... West as far as I can get
Hi all,
Just a new topic to let you guys know what's happening. First, I bought a bicycle in UB and loaded it and I'm now in Karakorum. Took me 5 days and god I'm tired! The wind is Killing! Sometimes I average 5 of 6 km an hour. So this is painful on the legs and not getting me anywhere. Second, camping is difficult because I'm afraid my tent will collapse under the storms.
But! There is also a lot of good news! The sun is shining, the landscape is dry but extremely beautiful and the Mongols are the friendliest! They keep offering me drinks and food along the way. Really good.
After this, I head for tsetserleg and then up to Mörön. My passport with russian visa will be send to Ölgii where I'll cross into Russia. Well, if I make it that far, that is.
