The limo loaded up & ready to roll. Pedalling out across the lonely steppe of Eastern Turkey, our journey unfolded along the busy Caspian shores of Iran and into the Karakum furnace, Turkmenistan's Desert of the Black Sands. Via the outdoor museums of Uzbek Silk Road cities, a string of jam-packed bazaars, an abundance of yurts and five thousand kilometres later, we arrived at our eventual destination: Son Kol lake, home to the nomadic horsemen of the Tien Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan. We've tried to make it more than just a tale of shashlyk kebabs and vodka. As well as posting diaries of our thoughts, eclectic images and a snippet of cultural background, we've noted practical resources for the more pedal-driven reader. This includes maps, stats, visa help, treadly shops and in true cycle-tourer style, a particularly beady eye was cast over the region's culinary offerings. Loaded with challenges, encounters and hospitality, we can't claim that travelling by tandem was always easy. But tough times or not, it was certainly an experience that left an incredible impression of this fascinating land. Cass and Rosal have both filed final diaries for the trip. (Find them here) In light of the recent horrific attack on the Twin Towers, both have stressed the incredible hospitality and welcome they received in Islamic countries, from people who would condemn these acts in every way.
