Day Twenty Two - Calamity in Turkmenistan

We have had our first casualty, Lyndsay Reid fell off her bike and onto her head after a 10 mile ride, but rather heroically has carried on with our journey. Gordon Aickin managed a magnificent 123 miles on his bike but has now written it off - we will hope to carry on tomorrow without incident...

We crossed the Caspian Sea and into Turkmenistan, and followed the edge of Sarygamysh Lake to get in sight of Lake Krasnovodsk - a brilliant 500 miles in total (to make up for the lazyness of the weekend).

Two bike accidents in one day, how unlucky can you be.

I bent the front forks and buckled a wheel but no serious damage was done to the rider.
