Day 7 into Mongolia

Day 7 to: Bush Camp, 68km, 751km to date, 532m up, end elev 1115m

Hello from Mongolia!

Day 5 of 6 in a row.  Starting to suspect all the way thru Mongolia will be very hard - upwind all the way. Wind on the nose for the whole ride today, except for a period it was blowing sand hard from the side.

We crossed out of China into Mongolia today, hence didn’t start cycling till 12:30.  Saw some probably wild camels today, also horses.  I’m not sure if we are technically in the Gobi desert or not, but the landscape is absolutely flat mostly sand or rock.

Getting organized just after the border crossing:

Welcome to Mongolia:

First night camping - all seems to be good, remembered how to set up my tent (in the brisk wind) and I seem to have remembered most things that matter.

Too exhausted to write more...

Looks like it will be another very hard day tomorrow, but then a rest day - which I suspect will be taken up with resting.
