Mongolia and back overland – an honest story
Almost one year since the last published article here (sorry about that). More than one year since, if anyone would have mentioned about going overland to Mongolia, I would have laughed. Yet here I...

A shared story, a shared cup of tea or stale piece of bread from last month, a smile or a simple welcome, a shared dream – this is my adventure.
Even if the weather stil does not want to play nice, some routes are still available. The Masca Valley, a kind of Transfagarasan, Trollstingen and Transalpine, all-in-one - at least if you count all the bends that part of this section of only 22 Km, crossing the Teno national park. Absolutely amazin views and a bit scarry at times due to the lack of visibility. Need good brakes and a very strong horn :).![]()
Feels like Jurassic Park all the way. Pure amazement.![]()

Turns out riding a bike above 2.000 meters anywhere in the North hemisphere it's not a good idea in January, even if you're close to the Equator. The "eternal spring" moto of the Canarias applies only to the coastal areas, not to the Teide national park...![]()
That being said, we survived to tell the tale, which is good. But the clouds, the rain, the very pissed-off wind, the sleet and the around zero degrees Celsius will stick to my muscle memory forever - will never forget today's monumental shivering. The meteo said it's supposed to be a "feels like" 1 degree C, when stationary. If you ride a bike, you get a bonus of ~-10 degrees C - that's when it's a dry weather. If you add fog, rain and wind, thimgs get very interesting very fast.![]()
Anyhow, though I'll not do it ever again if I can help it, I regret nothing. Nada :D.![]()

Finally back on the saddle and higher than the clouds. Full day of riding after waking up at 6:30AM and 2 hours of bus tranzit over the twistiest comute ever. But well worth it: the RE Interceptor is a blast. Fun to ride, plenty of character and joy. Still have to work on my clutch technique as my left hand is completely numb after of the twistie roads we have tested today.![]()
Teide is amazing, but cold as... you name it. Tomorrow I'll pack all my clothes, the kitchen sink and the entire wardrobe, just to be sure :).![]()

No ride day - but with a view. After days of not-so-nice weather, finally sun is out. So, celebrated with a full day in La Gomera island and Teide gifted us with a pretty nice view.![]()

Not really a fan of Dubai, but this is more like it. Nice city tour, get in touch with the locals, get to see all the famous places yet at the precise time when it's not too crowded.![]()
Kudos Red Bull, this is a good one :D.
