London to Magadan (May - August 2020)

[brucegraydon]

Hi everyone,

My name is Bruce, I am 53 and live in Australia. I am riding around the world, starting in the UK in May 2020 and riding through Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Mongolia, and back into Russia for the Road of Bones to Magadan.

I am planning to ride solo, but welcome company if anyone has plans around that time in any of those areas.

Let me know if you are keen.

Regards,

Bruce

[*Touring Ted*]

If I can't make it in 2019, then I'll be in touch for 2020.

Road of Bones to Magadan

My dream road to ride but alone??? as Frost Gump mum said?

"Mama says, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Good luck and have a great trip even in 2020

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies and advice.

When I say "I am planning to ride solo", that is not a choice, it's more the case that I am going.... I have obsessed about this ride for a decade and I am hoping I will meet others along the way and tackle to tougher sections together. Yep, the road of bones is intimidating and I am certainly hoping to ride that section with company. Otherwise I may need to change my plans and head for Vladivostok. But that would be sad.

My email address is bfgraydon@gmail.com if anyone is interested in corresponding between now and May 2020.

Touring Ted - keep in touch if 2019 fall over.

Brian - I'll drop you an email.

Tomkat - if our calendars align, we could meet somewhere in the Russia or the Stans. Flick me an email if you like.

Simo: I am in Brisbane, let's stay in touch in case you can join me.

Beginning to think it could all come together in 2020.
Warrington to Ulan Bator looks about 45 days riding?
Please correct if I am way out wrong.

Hi Brian.
Mongolia would be my preferred destination.
Ted is in the same general area as me, Liverpool area.

Hi Bruce,
I’m 54 and live and ride in Oz as well.. I also have a bike I leave in the Uk.. I have Ridden most of Europe over the last 3 years but only as Far East as Turkey.& Estonia . Russia and beyond has interested me for a while now and to travel part of your trip could be doable but like Tomkat and Brian Dublin would be turning back at Mongolia. I would feel easier in a group of 3 or more riders so I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread and hopefully timetables and the stars align.. cheers Phil
