Кутулик, little bumps and big bumps

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 18, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

The roads today were sometimes rough (little bumps). We crossed several drainages with some long climbs (big bumps). Overall, it was a good day of cycling. We’re starting to see more Asian and Mongol faces in people we see. The … Continue reading →

Зима minus 20km, gone with the wind

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 17, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

Our plan was to sleep in, take it easy and make a shorter day. Last night we walked in search of the blueplanetrun.org runners but returned when we weren’t sure of their route and wouldn’t know if they passed us … Continue reading →

Тулун, a stop in the little city

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 16, 2007 by mevJuly 16, 2007

We stopped today at a hotel in the town of Тулун. Our maps showed this as one of the larger places before Irkutsk and hence a reasonable place for a stop. We’re on the main street above the supermarket. There … Continue reading →

Худоеланское, small town Siberia

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 15, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

A good day of riding today as we had many hills but reasonable roads. We passed through several smaller towns and one somewhat larger: Нижнеудинск. The latter resembled the dusty frontier town in Star Wars. It was cool again this … Continue reading →

Камышет, rough roads again

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 14, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

Today was a day with 31km of gravel roads that were often rough. Traffic was heavy and we were covered with dust. Just as the dust would clear, another car would come past and raise more dust. Many of these … Continue reading →

Тайшет + 10km, rough roads

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 13, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

We crossed into Irkutsk oblast today. This brought another hour of time change (Moscow + 5) and also some rougher roads. The road has similarity with the Alaska Highway where pavement gets interrupted with “gravel patches” and that patch might … Continue reading →

Тины, lots of variety

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 12, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

A lot of variety in today’s ride: farming areas, city and forests. Reasonable roads except for the last 30km. I’ve been adjusting my alarm a few minutes each day to avoid having a big jump at the time zone boundaries. … Continue reading →

Завировка, cooler but headwinds

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 11, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

Roads in the eastern part of the oblast are in worse condition than the west. The amount of traffic seems similar but we had some bumpy roads today. We had gentle grades to climb up and over. As the afternoon … Continue reading →

Марьевка near Уяр, humid riding

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on July 10, 2007 by mevJuly 22, 2007

I liked Красноярск as a town for a rest day. It felt relaxed and about the right size. It was well marked as we left. We packed everything on the bikes and headed across the river. We cycled for nearly … Continue reading →
