ITFrom sandstorm to snow — all in one day.
I leave Kuqa this morning under a grey, dusty sky, knowing it wouldn’t stay that way for long. Today’s ride will take me off the desert and straight into the TianShan mountains, along the legendary Duku Road. A road so restricted that getting the permit took months… and one I was very excited to finally ride.
What followed was a complete roller coaster: checkpoints, mandatory stops, climbing higher and higher, layers going on and off, blue sky finally breaking through, nomads, horses, gravel tracks, wide green valleys — and then, snow.
After days of sand and heat, ending the day in the mountains felt surreal. What an incredible change of scenery 🤩
