I forgot to mention in my rush to get the ride report done before settling back into a work routine, that I had originally planned to travel to Mongolia some years ago with Belle and a couple of others. Unfortunately, work got in the way and I bailed. We had been due to meet up with this guy for the Mongolia leg of his round the World trip:

Like me, he never made it. Unlike me, it wasn't work that got in the way but a truck in Brazil that ended his life. I told his father at the time that I'd light a candle in my heart and take it with me to Mongolia. I thought of Adrian a more than once in Mongolia. Ride on brother.

Thanks for the RR. Glad you were able to finish. I hate sand and deep gravel. Great pics.

Thanks guys.

Klaus posted this video of he and Jan's trip in the Northern Asia forum. He hasn't posted up a ride report so I hope he wont mind me posting it here. They did a very similar route to us across Mongolia except in reverse. We met them on route as you'll see at 13:40 in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkC_tUuY77M
