Last night was a bit restless, lots of drunken Mongolians running around the hotel and making all sorts of funny noises… woke up early again – seems to become a habit. Elbow has still some issue, but hip is better so driving today is an option. Both of my arms …
Today after driving the southern route my plan is to take me to northern option. I found earlier on GPS log that the route I had planned took somebody two days to finish, but as it was less than 400km I thought that I will just do it in one …
I woke up before 07:00, a bit lazy morning to recover a bit from yesterday. My body was giving some unusual signs again that some extra activities has been done yesterday and everything was not back to normal. Coffee is a good start, did not bother to make any other …
Early morning again, almost everything was packed already yesterday and just needed to fill my water bags. For the first time I will now try how it feels to have 1.5L water in my back so that I can drink without getting off the bike. By 06:30 I was ready …
Alarm went of at 05:30 on my phone and I started cooking some coffee water to get make up and running. Morning looked really nice outside. By 06:30 I was ready to ride to Mongolian border to see if it is open or not. From Kosh-Agach border is some 50 …
Needed to wait until 07:00 before I got breakfast, while waiting for that I already had a coffee in a room as I woke up quite early. While waiting I was charging all of my GoPro batteries as scenery should start be much more enjoyable than in the past few …
Today I was not in a real hurry anywhere, had small breakfast at the hotel, did some planning for next day etc. After breakfast I went to local telephone operator store and purchased local prepaid SIM card with unlimited data service and some phone calls as well for a month. …
This time I really needed to wake up early as my checkout time was set to 07:00 due to me only paying for 12hrs at the hotel. Not a big deal, managed to get two cups of coffee and I was ready to ride again. I’m still in growing mode …
Woke up early again, by 06:00 I was pretty much ready and started thinking on how to get the bike out from garage. Garage door was locked and the guy who opened the door last night was nowhere to be seen. Lady from the reception helped me to find this …
Left Khromtau by 08:00 (time is there 2 hours ahead of Finland). First break to drink was really in the middle of nowhere, cars were rarely coming towards me and landscape was really flat. Road was also quite boring good road, 100km straight, turn and another 100 km straight again. …
