Friday 23rd August
With breakfast scheduled at 09:00 we had a bit of a lazy morning, tried to catch up on the blog, but the WIFI connection was not very good. We all had a Chinese’s breakfast rice, noodles and eggs, then loaded up and set off just before 10. We stocked up just outside the hotel, with water, nuts, cakes and sweets, then it was quite easy through the town, straight through the final police checkpoint and onto the main express way to Niye and beyond. Once again as soon as we left the town the desert appeared and the head wind, not quite as bad as yesterday, but still pretty strong, also with the steady incline. After a couple of hours, with all of us looking for a bit of shade to have a rest in, we came across a Uzbekistan style road stop, are little oasis, we replenished are drinks, had some cakes and fruit, basically enjoyed the rest.
Then set off again into the strong head wind, with less than 35 mile to go, we knew we had broken the back of the ride, it was just a matter of ploughing through with it, on we went, Keith had a flat front tyre (slow puncture, though he tried to blame the guy last night who touched his front wheel).We stopped again at a weird pull over place, not for long just to get are bearings and go for the last big effort of the day, before long we came to the final police check before Niye, same procedure, Linney showed the guy the hotel, he thought we had a booking, but we had not booked it, really nice guy though and was pretty interested in what we were doing, even typed on his translator app, “ see you again” as we left. With a really nice descent into the town 10 miles of luxury, even let us straight through a police check with a wave and smile, though as we arrived at the hotel, the police where there to greet u, this made the booking in process a bit easier, we where soon all sorted and ready to eat.
