Hi all,

Before I update the blog, just thought I’d mention this.

Twice in the last 24 hours I have had a petrol pump attendant and cafe owner shouting “Sarah, Sarah” and making handlebar gestures. I’m thinking lady biker. Then earlier today I bumped into two Czech bikers, Jan and Marek on an XT and Guzzi (both with over 100,000 kms on the clock) on their way to Krygistan, so we stopped and had lunch together. They told me they met Sarah yesterday near Aral, and she’s not on a motorcycle, but using human power to circumnavigate the world – check out her site – makes my trip look like a trip down Tescos.

I hope I bump into her on the road somewhere.
