Getting extremely tempted by the Silk Road Mountain Race.
It'd have to be on the cheap though. Luckily, I've already got a bike suitable for it and 90% of the equipment. My main concern and cost would sleeping arrangements. It doesn't look even remotely possible to guest house it the entire way and even if it was it would probably require some extremely short days followed by some extremely long days making it hard. I estimated that only about 20% of the route will be below 2000 metres so I imagine a decent sleeping system will be paramount. Is this going to be a tent job or will people be trying to bivvy it?
