Entering a valley, I ran out of trees along the road so I had to camp amongst some big bushes. Curious locals drove close by and stopped to look, but nobody took contact - not even a return wave or hello. Despite the late and bad start, I managed to bike 115k. Being the daily average I had to do to reach the Uzbek border in a week (date specific entry), it seemed I could only ride 5-6 hours per day (basically ½ days) not to progress to much....
