Tibet Odysee (Changsha-Chengdu-Lhasa-Ali)

[tokyokid]

Job done, bike gone. At last the clutch.

After 5000km on the tibetian plateau I burned the clutch when I took a way to steep short cut at over 5000m. Now the bike is on a truck on the way to Lhasa and we are lonly in Ali.

More later...

so where back to stinky china

here some pictures of the G317 from Derge to Naqqu, about 1000km of unpaved roads
i had the stock streettires on the bike and just changed the backtire to one with a better profile in Lhasa. I datched my rim on the paved road (G109) from Nagqu to Lhasa, so needed to replace that too.
