It was indeed another bad day for me that I had to flag down a car ,140km to Bishkek when the crack rim couldn't take the stress of the steep downhill. Heather will continue to ride with a New Zealand cyclist Lindsay whom we met on the climb. I will saty in Nomad's Home in Bishkek

to wait for her arrival in 2-3 days,also to e-mail if any changes to the plan. With less than 5 min, I was onto a car to Bishkek cost me 400 som plus 150 som to the Nomad's Home. My bike and all my panniors were tied on the roof with 6 adults including the driver. While sitting next to the driver who was speeding at 100kmh downhill. The downhill continued very steep while in the car.One way I am happy to hop on the car as it is too risky for my bike with crack rim,another way,I am sad to miss riding on this beautiful downhill with awful mountain scenery,the best according to Heather. Well, as I said earlier,safety always my number 1 priority!
