Silk Road Ride: June 2009
http://silkroadride.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. A map of the trip. So here, a little small but still legible (I hope; actually it doesn't look so hot, but if you double-click on it, it will reappear larger and more legible), is a map of where I went in 2002 (green) and 2004 (pink) and where I plan to go this year (blue). The map is from the Silk Road Foundation. Website, source of all sorts of scholarly knowledge about the trade in goods and ideas along the Silk Road. I talked with Peter Vallance at Rocky Mountain Bicycles.
