While our time in Volgograd has been great and the owner of Bikecity has bent over backwards to make us comfortable it was great to finally hit the road again today at 6pm after nearly 5 days lost and a repair bill of about £70 + uncounted costs for food and beds. We are now going to head straight across Kaz, there is no time to follow the original route. Hope to be very close to the Kaz border tomorrow. Not doing a night crossing though.
