Day 16, to (river camp) 124km , 1285 to date, 1529m up, 1006m end
This has been a spectacular day and an absolutely brutal day.
The brutal part first: The ride today was exactly like the Vancouver/Whistler GranFondo, except on rough gravel, in some cases absolutely bone rattling rough gravel. Sleep will not be a problem tonight!
Really impressive country side, lots of livestock, wild horses, and Mongolians on horseback.
Some pics of the day:
Yes, this is the highway!
Mongolian Freeway:
The "freeway" reminds me of the Alaska Hwy. back in 1964/65. There's a desert up there too, even though the ground is muskeg, still classified as "desert".
