What a great adventure Doug! Thanks for sharing this recording and your thoughts through this beautiful country and I bet super challenging trip in every aspect!
Wow! Didn't know such a cool race exists! The scenery is so so similar to my home (Xinjiang, China. Just at the other side of the border), that everything feels extremely familiar. It feels like I have even been to these places before because it's just so similar... Only the difference is at the other side of the border these areas would be packed with tourists and cars, that during the hot season some of the mountain roads are even having traffic jams just like a big city. However this side of the mountain it seems quiet and untouched, such a huge difference! Albeit it's the same mountain. Such a great adventure!
