Cycling along the Silk Road!

Hi,everybody.It's been my childhood dream to cycle along the silk road someday. Is any one interested?

Sara

Hello Sarina
nice to hear someone is going to do cycle on the silk road, I'm interested in but, the question is, when? and where will you start the journey?
Regards
M

Hi,
Thanks for expressing ur interest! I'm happy that at least there's a guy who's interested.Most of them tend to think it's too dangerous and 40 thieves of Baghdad are just awaiting them on the road. To answer your question,well...it will be within a few years..i've got things to do.I'm just amassing partners...well,just a few,and am reading about those who have made it to that region before!

hello. im interesting too. but why irak should be first? how about middle asia? im 32 yo, from slovenia, with intermediate ) experience in cycling.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply :-)
Well,I didn't mean that I want to start my journey from Iraq,I just alluded to the 40 thieves of Baghdad to say that most people think this is a dangerous road.I think i like to start my trip from china,then cycle to India,Pakistan,Asia minor,Iran and end up in Turkey.Unfortunately we have to exclude Afghanistan and Iraq for now

hello again! did u rode something like you plan now? where have you been?

Is this still in the planning process?

yeah,still in the planning process!

Any tentative dates?

Hey Sara! When do you wanna leave?

No,not yet.I've never had a bike trip.I need a few years to practice,and have some short trips with my bike.I also need to study about it.So it would take some years!

Than you should start cycling short trips in your home country! Not tomorrow and not the day after tomorrow but today! Book recommonendation Miles From Nowhere by Barbara Savage a extraordenary female cyclist!
