From Bukhara, it was 100 hot kilometres to the border. Riding 10k through town was very busy and the first 35k the road was so bad I began doubting I would reach the border. However, it got better the following 35k before more bad road the last 20k so I made the border at 16. On the way, I met three people biking the other way, which was a good opportunity to exchange information....
