Hi Jesus and Benni,
I'm not sure about whether I will cycle towards Lhasa, simply 'cause I'll meet my girlfriend in Chengdu and she's not really pumped for sneaking around checkpoints by night, encountering unpredictable mudslides, ferrocious dogs. And I'm not so pumped for the rather touristy Friendship Highway and Lhasa. And currently, Nepal doesn't look that bright, either. -
Another bummer would be, that my business visa of three months would expire on half way to Tibet- and no way to extend it there!
However, there are still chances... Thanks, Benni, for the link! Good stuff!
More likely, we'll stear towards Quinghai and Xinjiang, Kazakhstan...
