2013 Asia
HI, I have been planning U.K. to Thailand for some time. I have the bike ready and have previously travelled U.K. to Vladivostock via Poland and Ukraine. I would be looking to travel with someone through Mongolia and China. My timing requires transiting China in July 2013 ( I believe that Mongolia to Loas is a 30 day journey). I Plan to be at the Mongolia Russia border in mid June and the Mongolia China border at the beginning of July Is that of interest?.
Regards Jimmy
XT600

Transit Mongolia and China
HI Richard, I would be happy to share costs for China, I am in the early stages of planning and will either ride from UK to Thailand, route Ukraine, Russia, Mongolia, China, Laos. Arrival in Laos/Thailand has to be late July early August. The alternative is to fly bike out to Thailand and ride home, This would be a September transit of China, into Mongolia October and then home to UK.
Regards Jimmy
