It was entirely different from the "world" I come from--and without exaggeration it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my lifetime.

Pamir Highway 4eva! Hope you guys are doing great. The night shot turned out incredible!
4EVA!! Thanks so much, Chris! It was so great to meet you and ride for a bit together, especially here. Hope you haven’t melted in the desert, yet! 😉
Oh my! Everything about the Pamirs look divine! The views are simply awesome. I could wake up and ride to these sceneries everyday of my life.
But was it really that cold there? Anyway, I think that’s a part of the complete experience. Thank you though for this. This is another entry to the bucket list.
Hi Johnny! Yes, it was super cold up high, flurrying at times. The intense wind made it feel even colder than it was, I’m sure. Despite the weather, the beauty of the landscape was incredible!
Hi Beth.
Your pictures and article in adventure cycling are inspiring to a fellow bike traveler. I was disapointed in the brief space allowed f.or your article. I want to hear more . Have you written about this in any other publication ?

Hi David! I’m so glad you found the article inspiring! I should have another piece coming out in Dirt Rag soon!
Hi Beth. Saw your article in Adventure Cycling Aug/Sep edition. The great photos remind me of my time in Central Asia, Afghanistan, and especially Tajikistan. A question – you mention the Wakhan Valley in Tajikistan. From my experience this valley is across the border in Afghanistan. Or did you have a chance to visit the incredibly beautiful Lake Zorkul Nature Preserve on the Tajik-Afghan border which abuts the Afghan Wakhan Corridor Nature Refuge (and is at the junction of the Big and Little Pamir mountain ranges) ?
