Silk Road Ride

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.

Silk Road Ride: Gravy Train in Dogbiscuit

http://silkroadride.blogspot.com/2009/10/gravy-train-in-dogbiscuit.html

Saturday, October 10, 2009. Gravy Train in Dogbiscuit. Van, Saturday October 10 (16,000 km from Xian). I am at the end of a delightfully relaxed day off from cycling, the first after 11 days of hard work to get here from Yerevan, and now it's time to put some of the events of that long stretch onto the page. I'm fairly sleepy, so this may be shorter than usual. I passed early morning protestors outside the parliament building, making their unhappiness known about the rapprochement with Turke. The next mo...

Silk Road Ride: November 2009

http://silkroadride.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

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.

Silk Road Ride: January 2010

http://silkroadride.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

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).

Silk Road Ride: The Long and Winding Road to Stepanakert

http://silkroadride.blogspot.com/2009/09/long-and-winding-road-to-stepanakert.html

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...

Silk Road Ride: June 2009

http://silkroadride.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

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.

Veering Through Vietnam: July 2006

http://vietnamveering.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 08, 2006. And now, the end is here, it's time to face the final curtain. Ottawa, July 7. Here I sit at my mother's computer, back in the order, quiet and expensive surroundings of Canada's capital (and my birthplace, almost 38 years ago). contemplating the fact that my bike trip is now well and truly over. The past few weeks have been a very different experience from the rest of the bike trip, an uneventful but relaxing addendum spent mostly on beaches and in buses. Is good fuel for cycling.

Veering Through Vietnam: May 2006

http://vietnamveering.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Random Musings, Vignettes and Thoughts. A few disconnected thoughts from the road, accumulated over the past few weeks. Why is it that, as I've gotten further south, where it's hot all the time, it's become harder and harder to find cold beer and decent ice cream? Most places, I have to have ice cubes in my beer to make it drinkable, and ice cream is as scarce as hen's teeth. Don't people here find it as hot as I do? I thought I'd seen every possible method of rowing a boat during ...

Mongolian Madness: June 2007

http://mongolianmadness.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 29, 2007. Ulaangom, June 29. We're in Ulaangom, another dusty, scruffy aimag capital here in western Mongolia, after a surprisingly nice 4-day ride to get here from Olgiy. It's a much-needed day off here, and we've just come back from purchasing a small mountain of food for the upcoming 10-day ride to Moron. Here's the lowdown on the past 4 days. Monday, June 25: Day 6 since Khovd 76 km. Tuesday, June 26: Day 7 47 km. Wednesday, June 27: Day 8 53 km. Thursday, June 28: Day 9 87 km. Post-Sovi...

Thursday, June 15, 2006. Sai-going, Sai-going, Sai-gone! Saigon, 4020 km from the start. I escaped from the hot and unpleasant confines of National Route 1A this morning and rode into surprisingly civilized and quiet Saigon, vastly relieved to be out of the traffic, diesel fumes and ear-splitting din of the highway. At me during this trip. I used to think it was a greeting. Then I changed my classification to that of a challenge or a demand. Then I realized that it was the equivalent of zoo-g...The after...

New from Silk Road Review. Where to Find Us. Interview with Jack Driscoll. October 6, 2014 in Interviews. An Interview by Sharon Harrigan from Issue 12. Do you see a resurgence in short story reading? Jack Driscoll: It’s buoying to see recent short story collections, both by George Saunders and Alice Munro, as bestsellers. Whether or not that signals a larger readership for short fiction in general? And she said, Yes, which we loved, but we don’t represent short story writers. SR: I was fascinated to rea...

Thursday, November 13, 2008. It has been very hectic since arrival with bike packing, changing hotels, dealing with clearing up - and trying to get from A to B by taxis which invariably get lost! So today we are escaping from the hordes and will be cavorting along the Great Wall. Will get last photos taken in Beijing later. It is just now time to rejoice and give thanks for life itself. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. 95 Kilometres to Beijing. Billboards show proud folk. S power and might will rise. About 12...
