We had a good sleep in Sanjop Jankhar (SJ on your Visa form) except for the barking dogs. I counteracted by ear buds and music via the nano. Began the ride at 500' and am now writing this at ~5,000 ft, according to my bike computer 5,200 feet of vertical climbing with a few downhills on some of the worst roads....really needed a mountain bike, but supposedly the pavement which started 2km from our campsite continues from here on. No damage to anyone's bike but it made 30 miles feel like 60. Some of the group saw monkees, but not me. Now we are at our campsite on a ridge with an incredible view and fantastic sunset, not to mention a hot shower. We are roughing it. Hopefully we'll get it together to share some photos tomorrow. Amazing I can be out here in the middle of this very rural country and have web access.
