Update as per 4pm Thursday 25 July
Arrived with bike on train back at Severobaykalsk. The plan is to ride zhiglovo tomorrow/ Fri and be back in Irkutsk Saturday evening. Anyone there for sherberts?
On Sunday things will be closed, so Monday I'll see if I can get a replacement radiator. The bike mechanic round the corner from vlad's bike shop had lots of Japanese stuff kicking around so maybe something will fit.
I have a few ideas for the month of August but most likely is a Pamir revisit as heavy shed can get me to some of the interesting places.
Needless to say, I left my Kazakhstan and central Asia maps in at the Oasis in UB. Any idea of any shops in Irkutsk or Almaty where I can buy such things or if we meet en route I could buy yours?
I'm sitting on the balcony of the Severobaykalsk Resort hotel eating a well earned bar of chocolate while it's still raining. Should be fun in the mud tomorrow on the zhiglovo road :-) ...
