                                        Lundi 4 mai 2009. Fin du 2ème épisode "blog-istique"! 2 nuits dans des draps après 4 mois dans le jus de nos sacs de couchage, je crois que c'est la chose que nous apprécions le plus pour le moment! Pour le reste, pas trop le temps de gamberger, entre les lessives qui tournent, les factures qui tombent et les mauvaises herbes qui poussent! Le train-train essaiera bien de reprendre sa place, mais on restera vigilant à garder cette part de liberté qu'on a dans la tête quand on revient de voyage.

                                        Sunday, August 15, 2010. Leysin, January 2, 2011. Sitting here in my apartment in sunny Leysin, Switzerland, it's about time to draw the saga of the Silk Road Ride to a close and tie up a few loose ends. I've enjoyed just about every minute of the entire process (OK, aside from the six months spent recovering from rheumatic fever in 2002! And I hope that this blog can help convey some of that excitement to you, my readers. Stay tuned to graydonstravels.blogspot.com for future trips! 2002: Xian to Urumqi.

                                        Saturday, September 26, 2009. The Long and Winding Road to Stepanakert. Stepanakert, Saturday September 26. I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Stepanakert, the capital of the strange semi-country of Nagorno-Karabakh. Quick, how many of you know exactly where Nagorno-Karabakh is? Be honest, now! It doesn't appear on a lot of maps, because only one country (Armenia) considers it an independent country. It's a small area to the east of southern Armenia (11,000 square km and 150,000 people). Anyway, to resum...

                                        Thursday, June 18, 2009. A map of the trip. So here, a little small but still legible (I hope; actually it doesn't look so hot, but if you double-click on it, it will reappear larger and more legible), is a map of where I went in 2002 (green) and 2004 (pink) and where I plan to go this year (blue). The map is from the Silk Road Foundation. Website, source of all sorts of scholarly knowledge about the trade in goods and ideas along the Silk Road. I talked with Peter Vallance at Rocky Mountain Bicycles.

I'm taking advantage of the fact that I'm out from under the curtain of censorship in Myanmar to update this blog (Blogspot is censored in the Golden Smiling Land). Soon I will be out of Myanmar for good; at the beginning of June, my contract ends and I will finish an unprecedented three years of sedentary existence as a teacher and return to what I'm best at: nomadic explorations of the world. Late Sept...

                                        Thursday, January 21, 2010. The final, symbolic end of the Silk Road Ride. Carrouge, Switzerland, January 21. My friend Manuel had set up a welcoming committee of journalists to take photos and talk to me as I pushed my bike along the streets and up and over the bridges towards my finishing point. So far, there are two stories that have come out in the Italian press:. This one (from Il Gazzetino, the main daily paper of Venice). And this one (from Nuova Venezia).

                                        Friday, November 20, 2009. Off to the Balkans. Berat, Albania, Nov. 20. The Silk Road Ride is over, sad to say. I will continue to add links and maps to this site, but for now my further cycling adventures, riding through the Balkans in November and December of 2009, can be found at. I hope you have enjoyed reading about my Silk Road adventures, and that you will continue to follow my cycling explorations in the future! Posted by xuanzang at 12:28 PM. Monday, November 02, 2009.

                                        Monday, July 27, 2009. Half the World, Half the World Away. Esfahan, Monday July 27th. The rest of the day I stayed in this valley, passing through the 10 km traffic jam of Marvdasht (I think that in Iran, a city is only an excuse for a good traffic jam) and making it to Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the ancient Achaemenid Persian Empire, by 11, just in time for the blistering heat of midday. Several times (if you love history and haven't read Herodotus, now is the time! I found being at the tomb...

                                        Sunday, August 23, 2009. Rider on the Storm. Baku, Sunday August 23. Leaving Baku on Wednesday, I left ludicrously late (like 11:30 am! After a rainy night, I spent the entire next day riding to Xinaliq, a mere 36 kilometres away. My average speed for the day was a mere 7.4 km/h, which tells you that it was a strictly uphill sort of day. And what uphills they were! The next day (yesterday) I awoke to more rain, did some bike maintenance (changing disk brake pads for the first time ever: a fiddly job!
