Last week I spoke about how I had 500+km to ride through the desert, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees and no water supplies en-route.

Listen to this week's episode to find how one of the 'hardest' stints on the tandem went, and the contrast between the town of Nukus and the emptiness across the Kazakh/Uzbek border!

Also I answer some key questions including how far am I cycling each day and what the best cycling shorts are! If YOU have questions that you'd like answered, send them to Bristol2Beijing on social media or email to [email protected].

We hope you enjoy this episode!
