We left the Guest House a little later than planned (7.30am) after an excellent breakfast. Before setting off, we had to deal with the day’s puncture : a micro-puncture on the front wheel of my bike that we would never have fixed if we hadn’t had a bucket of water at the Guest House to find it.
The start of the route was very pleasant, much cooler than the day before with a light breeze, and the road was quite good. But we knew that temperatures were going to rise sharply during the day. We planned to go as far as Nurota, which is a bit long for the heat. We hoped to be able to ride until 1pm, take shelter and then set off again at the end of the day. At 11am we arrived in the town of Qizilcha, where the heat was already high and the wind had died down... We see a hotel listed nowhere [1] and change our plan : we’re going to stay here in the cool for the day and do the remaining 55km tomorrow.
