Someone cycling round Kyrgyzstan was staying in my place last night in Karakol - unfortunately I didn't meet him/her, just saw the bike and Shimanos. Lovely time of year for it - long dry sunny days (c19 degrees), but chilly at night. That said, I'm trekking up into the mountains tomorrow to camp for a few days, so camping is still possible. There's been some snow already at trekking altitudes, but not down in the villages and on the roads.
Update: it's Sofiane Sehili (3rd place in last year's Tour Divide), who's riding from Paris to Taiwan. He's stopped today to have a bent fork fixed after a collision with a kid. Lovely fella, he's doing about 200km a day, and doesn't camp, so can go lighter.
