Comments on Vladivostok, we made it! A bicycle ride across Eurasia 2007-10-01T02:17:00Z http://www.bikerussia.com/2007/09/17/vladivostok-we-made-it/feed/atom/ WordPress By: Ed & Robin Hildenbrand Ed & Robin Hildenbrand http://www.bikerussia.com/2007/09/17/vladivostok-we-made-it/#comment-1123 2007-10-01T02:17:00Z 2007-10-01T02:17:00Z Jealousy, thy name is Hildenbrand! Belatedly given, but no less sincere, CONGRATS! Along with the book your admirers yearn for, we expect a touring slide and talk show. Book PEDAL’s evening in early April. Enjoy the Far East next (isn’t that further west than Vladivostok?).

I have an “epilogue” post in progress to post my reflections on the trip and the next plans, but the short answer follows:

I am in Vladivostok for another week or so. Today I moved from a hotel to a home stay. During this week, I’m running various errands. For example, today I brought the bike to a bicycle shop and got things serviced.

At the end of the month, I’ll fly to Urumqi, China. From there, I’ll bicycle to Turpan, China and join Tour D’Afrique for 3600km of cycling to Beijing on their Silk Route ride. It is a little different type of trip, supported (some meals are provided, gear is carried) and with longer distances per day. I’m looking forward to cycling through China, though will need to make sure I can ride quick enough in shrinking daylight hours. My plan is to create a web page with text and photos of the China trip but not until after I return. This site remains Russia, rather than being reused for China.

After the Silk Route trip, my plan is to relax a little before returning to work in December. I haven’t yet figured out if that will be in Thailand or Colorado.

I think that I remember that you’re going to keep cycling, but not sure where. When are you heading back to Colorado?

Becky and I are very happy for the both of you. Our only disappointment is that we won’t have anything fun to read now that you’re finished. I assume the book is forthcoming?
