Today we made a great leap forward, some by auto transport. It was nice to get on the road after a day and a half of sickness and rain. Mickey was still feeling a little weak but better. The road … Continue reading →

Амазар, rain and sick day

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 20, 2007 by johnSeptember 3, 2007

Today a quiet rest near Амазар. Mickey still wasn’t feeling well and it started to rain. Our campsite was in a good location (dry, away from the road, close to town/store/cafe). All these combined to say, take another day of … Continue reading →

Амазар, sick day

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 19, 2007 by johnSeptember 3, 2007

Last night Mickey had been up all night sick. With exception of someone fetching water at 12:30am, I slept soundly. Perhaps it was tainted water? Perhaps something else? We’re not sure. We waited this morning until things were stable before … Continue reading →

Амазар – 15km, back in the saddle again

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 18, 2007 by johnSeptember 3, 2007

It rained during our rest day yesterday. Early morning showers with thunder and lightning. Enough to knock out power a few times and perhaps the reason the internet cafe wasn’t working in the morning. However, dry after that. We left … Continue reading →

Могоча, following the train tracks

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 16, 2007 by johnAugust 17, 2007

Today we continued following the old road past small settlements and into the larger town of Могоча. The road continued to occasionally be rough, though it was considerably flatter. This along with the lure of a hotel room at end … Continue reading →

Кислыи Ключ, the road less traveled

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 15, 2007 by mevAugust 19, 2007

Today we rode the road less traveled and it made a big difference. Not much difference in our average speed or total distance, but a difference in experience. The road was narrower. It had fewer long slow grades but the … Continue reading →

Сбега, rocks and rattles as we roll

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 14, 2007 by mevAugust 19, 2007

It sounds like a broken record, but we had another tough day of cycling on the gravel road. It seems like they dumped a fresh load of gravel on this road. This accompanied with climbs made for a slow ride. … Continue reading →

Урюм, tough riding on gravel

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 13, 2007 by mevAugust 13, 2007

Two things made for tough cycling today: there was a lot of loose gravel on the road and the road itself went across a number of hills. When climbing the hills there were already signs up marking the grades as … Continue reading →

Жирекен, Putin’s new road

Amsterdam to Vladivostok Posted on August 12, 2007 by johnAugust 17, 2007

They are building a new road from Chita to Khabarovsk. It was the announcement of the “opening” of this road in 2004 that sparked the idea for this ride. Today we saw some of the new road and even cycled … Continue reading →
