The scenery became even more awe inspiring today as we covered 73kms through mountainous terrain. We were able to find a roadside truck stop for a lunch of rice and eggs, which really helped our stamina. The wind became a force to be reckoned with around 2pm and continued to get stronger as the day wore on. Going over the last pass before Bayongol around 8pm the wind was so fierce it blew me off the road! As it was getting dark and Ali and I were both wiped out we found a hotel in town and checked into our deluxe suite with ample space for our bikes and gear - we even have a hot water heater for showering! (Last warm shower was about a month ago in Irkutsk). The room cost 35,000 Togrogs - about $27 and it even comes with a karaoke bar directly beneath the room that pumps extremely loud music and bad singers!
