Project VELAIA

The plans about crossing Central Asia have not gone very far yet. It’s not clear how the situation in Iran will be for example. I’d like to go through Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and either Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. But if geopolitics make trouble I’ll probably decide to take a northern version through Armenia and Azerbaijan crossing the Caspian Sea either to Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. I’ll also have to look how the weather conditions will be when I arrive there.

Hey my friends, I got a 90 day China and a 30 day Kyrgyzstan visa and can now hopefully complete my journey to Beijing without further hassles. I am leaving Tashkent this morning.

Hey guys, I have arrived in Osh, Kyrgyzstan after 3 days of 101, 150 and 195km – I haven’t written anything yet because I was so keen on cycling – couldn’t upload the text from here anyway. But cool pictures I got – will post them soon.

My further journey goes to Sary Tash and then Irkeshtam where I will enter China – waiting for a faster connection. Before I’ll arrive there there’s a pass (Taldyk) of 3615m to cycle – will be a lot of fun I guess
