How's the legs + moral, sick of camping out yet?

Moral took a hit with the illness. Not been camping much recently due to hosting and very cheap accommodation here. Will be more camping from now til Central China.

Very envious. You have a great idea of life that I wouldn't mind following.

Best wishes and luck to you.

Thanks!

You have done crazy well to get half way. Amazing feat. Keep it up!

Thanks as well

Not so big but every muscle from the waist down is rock solid!

Enjoy your break in Bukhara and Happy Birthday.

Just read your last post, you continue to amaze me with your dedication. I can't imagine cycling the best part of 100KM in a day let alone whilst feeling like that. You are certainly picking up a lot of good stories to tell in the future.

Hope you enjoyed your well earned break and a belated happy birthday!

Just caught up with your adventure. Still in awe.

I have to ask though, what's with the trouser legs in Bukhara?

 

[Spursingham]

Hey. Just caught up with your latest ride. Great reading! I guess your 3 day rest is over now. Good luck on the next leg.

Happy Belated Birthday!


Malevolence, the rolled up trouser leg is so the trousers don't get caught on the Chain/Chainset area.

Same here - great stuff - Belated Happy Birthday and hope your keeping safe!

With the french guys? Not sure, if it's the right leg it's to stop them getting caught in the chain but one of them ha the wrong leg rolled up!

Just did most of the 3 day stint from Bukhara to Samarkand. Had to get a taxi the last 60km due to a severe dose of food poisoning, the second time in three weeks! Going to take a day off then get a taxi back to re-ride that section as I'm determined to cycle every inch!

Another enjoyable read. It looks like a really interesting place. I don't have enough adventurer in me to ever consider somewhere like Uzbekistan. Certainly would be intresting to tread in the footsteps of Gengis Khan though.
