We spoke to Laodo last week by phone I did not ask if the rally was going ahead I asked about help in finding a second hand bike.

They are sometimes hard to get in contact with by phone.

The rally this year was going to be run near Hami and then up near karamay way not in the Takalamakan desert.

My friend says there where no problems in Hami.

Hard to run that kind of event with out internet access?
