Even after going to bed early the day before we wake up late and make it to Chowd only at lunchtime, where we meet several other teams. After Chowd the road is much better and we start to crunch miles. Until the bike has a puncture. Our dream of a hotel for the night is gone. Korbi and me are waiting on the road while the others drive back to Chowd with the tire to get it fixed. Once they come back we finally continue to wards Altai. Of course the darkness is catching us and we camp next to the road. Our russian friend with the bike is missing again. Mongolia is still cold and windy.
