Читать книгу Round And Through the World by Bicycle: The Summary 2014—2016, 53772 km by bicycles. From Russia - Егор Ковальчук - Страница 5

– In terms of topography, my itinerary included 118 passes: 105 passes under 3,000 m; 9 passes from 3,000 to 4,000 m; 5 passes over 4,000 m.

Deserts: Muyunkum (Kazakhstan), Kyzylkum (Uzbekistan), Ustyurt Plateau (Kazakhstan), Gobi (Mongolia).

While waiting for visas and the departure date, in Moscow and San Francisco, ran two marathons 42.1 km each.

Carried out speed climbings on Indonesian volcanoes: Agung (3150 m), Kawa Ijen (2380 m), Merapi (2900 m), Merbabu (3150 m), Kerinchi (3800 m).

Experimented with cleansing fasting: 7 days of dry contactless fasting (no food, no water, not even contacting with water).

Maximum milage per day: 280 km. This happened about ten times.

Maximum milage per week: 1900 km in eight April days (countries: Norway, Finland, Sweden).

The windiest country during the journey was US. Head winds were blowing 85% of the 5600 km route and about two months of moving. As sources confirmed later, western winds prevail in the world.

Was hit by a car in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan, while crossing against the traffic signal. This happened at the beginning of the journey. My left hand was hurt badly and I couldn’t lean on it when steering the handlebar. The bicycle offered me by a friend to ride through the city was damaged more seriously.
