A decade ago, when we first began touring through Africa, route planning was far more clear-cut. Studying our Michelin Africa map usually turned up just one possible route, perhaps two options in more developed places like Morocco, Kenya or South Africa. Thick red lines were what we followed much of the time. Without reliable GPS info, following a squiggly white line featured on your Michelin map usually got you lost. There was a good chance the \u2018road\u2019 would just peter out in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the day, with few blogs online, scant time was spent wading through bike touring websites gleaning intel about routes and road conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Touring cyclists simply hit the road and discovered countries as they pedaled.<\/p>\n<p>It was a simpler time, yet we were happy. \u00a0For the most part, Africa churned out far more adventure and excitement than we\u2019d ever expected.<\/p>\n<h2>But Which Route is the BEST?<\/h2>\n<p>Fast forward to 2017 and the quantity of bike touring information has exploded.<\/p>\n<p>We can churn through hundreds of detailed Pamir Highway bike touring blogs, debate gear and routes on Facebook bike touring forums, download GPS tracks from sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridewithgps.com\">RidewithGPS<\/a>, and ooh and ahh at cycling photos posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Should we ride here? Or there? But that route looks AMAZING! All this info can result in a serious case of FOMO.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it was Angie, our knowledgeable Warm Showers host in Bishkek, who convinced us that the back road route to Osh via Naryn would be far more fun and adventurous than the main highway. She promised we\u2019d encounter far less traffic and see a more rural, untouched side of Kyrgyzstan. And Angie ought to know. She\u2019s hosted dozens of cyclists on their way through Central Asia.<\/p>\n<h2>On the Road Again<\/h2>\n<p>Day one out of Bishkek was pancake flat. Which was good. Our legs weren\u2019t exactly rock strong and we needed to ease ourselves back into touring. Late afternoon, the sky turned an ominous purple-grey and thunder cracked in the distance. Our high-tech weather app hadn\u2019t predicted this! We dashed towards what looked to be a deserted roadside restaurant and were greeted by a friendly caretaker. The gentleman helped us hoist our bikes up the stairs and guided us into an empty banquet room. Not 60 seconds later the clouds burst and rain thundered down for the next several hours. A wave of gratitude swept over me. The kindness of strangers combined with our incredible luck never fails to amaze and humble me.<\/p>\n<h2>No Challenge-No Fun!<\/h2>\n<p>The following day the notorious Central Asian headwinds pounded us hard as we began some serious climbing. The general consensus is to travel eastwards in this part of the world. We were heading west back to Europe and not looking forward to fighting vicious winds the entire way. Our resolve to make it up the first 2,000 meter pass waned and by midday we\u2019d decided to hunker down and wait for more favorable conditions.<\/p>\n<p>During the night the winds died down. We\u2019d made the right decision. The morning cycling was glorious! What a change from sheer misery to perfect joy while pedaling. We knocked out the pass and rolled back down to the lowlands.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0We were back in the swing of touring.<\/p>\n<h2>Time to Turn Back<\/h2>\n<p>I climbed the next pass, at 3,000 + meters, with confidence. Not knowing, at the time, that we\u2019d climb it again, just two days later.<\/p>\n<p>In the pretty little town of Naryn, we discovered the road ahead to Jalal Abad was not yet open for the season. The news hit us like a bombshell. Sure, the road climbed up over a couple of 4,000+ meter passes, but for some reason, we just hadn\u2019t imagined it would still be closed in mid-May.<\/p>\n<p>With resignation, we turned our bikes around and pedaled over the same two passes back to Bishkek. In all honesty, we enjoyed take<em> two<\/em> just as much.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-8208-1-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-8208-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-8208-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-8208-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<figure id=\"attachment_8211\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8211\" style=\"width: 3775px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8211 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/final-01388.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3775\" height=\"3066\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/final-01388.jpg 3775w, http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/final-01388-500x406.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/final-01388-768x624.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.worldbiking.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/final-01388-1024x832.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3775px) 100vw, 3775px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before heading out of Bishkek, we popped into the local market to stock for the journey ahead.
