Road of Bones /Mongolia by bicycle??
 

Good Day All

Live in South Texas - doing theTDF thing and do u the cost and fact it is a bit complex to get a motorbike over there/etc... was thinking of doing the area by bicycle.. cheaper (takes longer) maybe a good thing in the way of "being there" in the adventure - but then can be other issues using a bicycle!

any comments from people in the Know!

thanks

Hmm if nothing - think a bit on mosquitos..

The toughest mozzie repellant I found up to now was from OZ. Worked on mozzies AND bush flies ;-)

Make sure to use top tech bicycle equipment that takes alot of battering. No aluminum pannier racks - only chrome moly or stainless steel. Waterproof pannier bags, like Karrimore, Carradice or Ortlieb.

Enjoy!

You don't say where your complete journey will be to but if planning cycling for a long trip you could get caught out by time limits.

There are now time limits on how long you can stay in Russia on a single visit. 90 days in any 180 days now a condition of Multi Entry Business Visas.

Maybe these guys can help you: Mongolia Tour Knights // In mountain bike dal confine attraverso il Gobi fino a Ulaambataar // Coming in 2008...
One of them is a motorcyclist, but he is planning this trip by bicycle.

Sorry for my long delay, Hans, but I'm changing home. Uff, what an hard work...
I'm not back from Africa, I still have to go: the travel is planned for august, every day I feel more excited... In the meanwhile, if you travel to Italy, you can find me in Reggio Emilia (Emilia Romagna). The beer is waiting... :)

But maybe it's better if we follow in another place, we are spamming the Sandman's thread... :rolleyes2:
