Дормидонтовка, swamps equal mosquitoes

We’re back to traveling through populated areas. There are even French fries and mashed potatoes back on the menus. We had a rainy day yesterday in Хабаровск. This morning it was cloudy and threatening to rain again, but fortunately it … Continue reading →

Today we reached the city of Khabarovsk, the endpoint of the 2165km “Amur Highway” from Chita. This is a big city of 600,000+ people and largest city since we left Irkutsk a month and a half ago. It took a … Continue reading →

Хабаровск – 30km, return of the mosquitoes

Posted on September 6, 2007 by johnSeptember 8, 2007

Lots of flat marshy terrain makes for good cycling, though we also have many more mosquitoes. Today we cycled a majority of the distance to Хабаровск and are camped between the road and the railroad tracks. My cell phone keeps … Continue reading →

Аур, end of the gravel

Posted on September 5, 2007 by johnSeptember 8, 2007

We’re done with the gravel roads for this trip! It was nice to reach asphalt and know that except for road construction, they should continue. We left with sunny skies and after 4km we had our first asphalt. This ended … Continue reading →

Облучье + 15km, new oblast but same roads

Posted on September 3, 2007 by johnSeptember 8, 2007

Rain on the rooftop, but dry in the tent. We had fog and mist most of the morning. Today was a hilly ride, but we still made some good distance. We left the hotel early and cycled back up the … Continue reading →

Архара, rest day

Posted on September 2, 2007 by mevSeptember 3, 2007

Today we made a ride back to town of Архара. Weather forecasts had indicated possible rain (though it is now sunny outside), and we went back to see if the dog that had bitten Mickey was behaving normally. From here, … Continue reading →

Архара, September showers bring October flowers

Posted on September 1, 2007 by johnSeptember 3, 2007

Morning rain showers meant we were late leaving. Once on the road, it was gravel for the first 18km. The wet gravel allowed cars to ride and mash the worst gravel into flat tracks. Only once or twice, did we … Continue reading →
