Through Mongolia July 2015
I’ve spend several days on trying dig information to schedule Mongolia trip with minor success, and now need help.
Very poor information about viewpoints and road conditions east of UB.
Guys, can you guide me on pure driving time during this route?
All suggestions to route changes duet clymate specifics, viewpoints, and *better road conditions* are highly appreciated.
We are going 2up on Yama-Supertenere 1200

Not sure where you're from, but apart from an extra border crossing opening up north of khovsgol, as a european tourist, you can only enter/exit Russia nort of UB and in west Mongolia direction Kosh-Agach (m52)... not so for Russian citizens (and maybe some other nationalities but don't know the end of it)...
Driving time, 2 up (without ruining your suspension on the corrigation?) from the west to UB can be done on the southern route in 5 days or less.. east of UB no idea...

This report from Colebatch is the only one I remember about Mongolia east of UB.

As for riding time, please take it for what it is: Walter is known as a very fast rider,and on this trip he even declares he "was on a mission", so, unless you are a rally professional rider, take Walter times and multiply for 3 or 4, maybe even 6 :-)

You should ask yourself ...how many hours you gonna ride the bike ...
Let me point to you that in that country only two things can bi done....either you sit somewhere and look in direction of noting or you hop on bike and drive from sunrise to sundown with small stop to take fuel or food .....and that is about 10h per day and if you multiply bay Km........that is how I did it last year on my way to Japan.
Hope this helps
Zoki
