In 2004 Abe rode from Novosibirsk to Chita--alone. That stretch was about 1,800 miles, and was barren and lonely. But he is keen to finish his goal of riding the rest of the way across Russia, despite the fact that the last time it took him 3 months to recuperate. :) This is a man with endurance and tenacity--trust me! Today he should be starting on a train journey to reach Chita which will be his starting point. I have not had contact with him since I came to the States, but am hoping to establish that with him next week. If I cannot, and his cell phone is working ok, then we will see if Esther can be in touch with him. Might make his journey just a little less lonely.
