What were the things that you noticed along the way there?

I think the people that were nicest to me were probably Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan.

First of all, the first kind of nine, 10 days from the Caspian Sea to kind of reach the first major city on the Silk Road, which I don't know off the top of my head, but was all desert, essentially just kind of cycling down this one road in the desert, which was fairly busy for being in the middle of the desert, really.

But constantly people were stopping to hand me water, hand me food, ask how I was doing.

Because it was June, July at this point.

So it was about 105 out in the desert.

So people wanted to give you water for that.
