Thanks Carl... Although my gandmother was crazy so maybe I shouldn't follow her example. Went couchsurfing in Gonghe yesterday with some cool Germans who helped me find some warmer clothes, so today was comfy. I'm in Chakazhen now, aiming for Golmud tomorrow. Thanks for the tip, I probably will go south. All in all everything is good, the bike struggles a bit on the climbs, and especially starting hot at above 3000m but usually I can get 30-40km/h out of it uphill, I'm not revving it too much until I have broken it in properly.
