Options ?
I'm looking at doing the similar ride from Oman - it does now seem that the border between Georgia/Russia is ine one place open.
I've also tracked down a ferry from Georgia/Ukraine - which I will probably use if the border is not open.
Apart from the Iran option.... there is one other route - now please do not laugh ....
Oman - Yemen - Dijbouti - Sudan - Egypt - Cyprus - Greece  ?
I had some RTW bikers staying with me 19 months ago who went this way - getting the Yemeni visa was a little tricky - and they were escorted by the police for over half their trip.
Regards
Tim
