Day 21: The Road to Ulan-Ude

We left Chita after 2 days, and headed for Ulan-Ude. The road is good here, mostly pavement, with only a few patches of gravel. Warm, sunny, and just some great riding.

I sang in my helmet a few times... badly.

We had left Chita late in the day, so we had only planned to do a couple hundred KM.

All was well until we decided to camp for the night. We took off down a side road, that got progressively worse, which is when the fun started. We had already decided to turn around (about 2 or 3 km off the road). I then proceeded to fall off my bike a nice total of 5 times. Once we came to a stop, I fell off. We went through a mud puddle. I fell off. Another mud puddle, another off.

Sigh. Mongolia is going to be fun.

Don't worry, we were filming, so there is lots of video of me falling off my motorcycle.

We came across another wedding when we were stopped for gas. They seem to get married a lot here.
