.. takes about 9 days to go back down the track that cuts diagonally from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in North-West to the Siberian border with the Altai Mountains, the most 'striking panoramic point of view but certainly the most' difficult I have an average of no more 'than 150 km per day! Arriving near the border after I sanded several times, the test remains the most 'difficult to overcome, the ford by 5 rivers! Hope the rain that sustains and further bloat the Seine river 'should' go back .. In the evening I meet a Ukrainian shipping, 3 cars and 9 persons, have the same problem but with the jeep and 'a whole other matter. The next day we start when we get together but we are astonished at the first ford, and 'off more' 100 meters in the bed when we get to explore the bottom of the water we get to the waist .. Evjenii, leader of the expedition has an idea, if it passes one of our cars can go too! -..
and how? We tend
cable steel between a car and the other in the two opposite banks of the river, we set the motion of pulleys and steel cable attached to the bike will flow 'along the cable without being overwhelmed by the tide, we only responsible for push it to the other side .. If
but reluctantly agree but I have not alternative, but the risk you run and 'high .. if something goes wrong surely lose the bike. After half an hour the cable and 'ready and hooked the bike after having carefully closed the exhaust manifold and the inlet, we enter into the water in 5 people, the resistance that opposes the motion and the current' so the water tries to bypassed and the two cars tend to approach the drag tension in the line .. 5 employ endless minutes to cross but in the end we make it, so 'for 5 times!
At the end of the day are exhausted, 14 hours to 40 km, they are soaked to the bone but the Siberian border and 'horizon.
It 'was hard to leave this wonderful country, in every sense ..
