I am planning a very similar trip on 2 wheels.
CHN: Urumqi - Chinese Altay
KAZ: Zaysan - Semipalatinsk (Semey) - Krasnyy Aul
RUS: Rubsovsk - Barnaul - Bysk - Gorno Altaysk - Tashanta
MON: Tsagaannuur - Olgiy - Khovd - Bulgan - Altay - Bayankhongor - Arvaykheer - Lun - Ulaan Bataar - Zamyn Uud
CHN: Erenhot - Beijing
The Mongolian stretch of the route (up to UB ) is pretty much a copy of this one.
They have some good descriptions, map extracts and took a picture about every 10 kms.

I think other choices are a little limited anyway

The same for a good support team in Mongolia ?
What is the best (nicest - genuine) way from western Mongolia (Bulgan) to Ulanbaatar ?

Although we are going without support, I was given the following contacts through a third party.
Nomads Tours and Expeditions - Adventure travel, cultural travel and expeditions in Mongolia
Steppenfuchs Reisen
Bulgan? To the best of my knowledge there is only one land border open to foreigners (non Mongolians, non Chinese) between China and Mongolia, which is Zamyd Udd - Erenhot.

P.S. What is your experience with the paperwork of bringing a Chinese registered bike (to a foreigner) out of China and back in?
