Arrived in UB 2 days ago. Big sprawling city with ger (yurt) type of slums or suburbs not really sure which. Americano at french owned cafe, speaking with an Israeli about Palestine, sipping kvas on tree lined street - not impossible in this town. International vibe for sure. Headed to Terelj Park for some horse riding / ger camping.
Details: Russian / Mongolian Border - U.B.
350 KM of smooth pavement, actually the best roads I've seen so far. Kilometre markers the entire route. Not too many commodities however. I was carrying up to 10 liters of water for safety, and the biggest distance between supply was about 80 km. Nice hillside camping. The ITM map for Mongolia is not at all accurate and I've since purchased a locally made map, which has correct names for cities.
next ride: from Terelj to Choir city. About 200 KM. We'll see how it goes...
