Long stretch through the desert

It’s my fourth day in the desert. High temperatures and constant headwind challenge my mind and make me very sleepy. The water I carry heats up and is not refreshing after all. Luckily, there are many drivers stopping by to give me cold water and snacks. I have also changed my daily routine. I get up at 5-5:30am and cycle as far as possible until the heat gets unbearable at noon. Then it’s time to take a long rest and sleep in the shade until I cycle the last few kilometers late in the afternoon. Six more days like that and I will be in Mashhad.もっと詳しく
