Day Nine – Astore to Skardu 137km

Super fun off road riding

Children stare like I’m a spaceman

Men outside breakfast place said they have never seen a Vespa

Played caram board at breakfast stop

Crashed in water crossing! Broke headlight and fingernail! Bleeding from left hand fun!

Water crossing killed LUMIX camera

Deosai Plains
Remembered some old BMX & MTB skills got my weigh back to lighten up the front end and more easily roll over obstacles.

Bears

Dinner at Hargisa Hut restaurant

Sat around reviewing crash footage

Super sore right shoulder, scrape on right knee and left thigh bruised from when the handlebar hit me.

I have realized an interesting time difference. At the end of this he dat when I am done with my ride I post about Walmart has happened during the day. My loved ones on the other did of the planet are just waking up and checking social media. How convenient
