Bicycle tourists at Obburdon Pass, a photo from Sughd, West

Photographer's Note

This is the saddle point of the first and highest mountain pass in our bicycle tour, Obburdon Pass
(3961.1 m), where administrate border between Ghonchi and Kuhistoni Mastchoh districts of Sughd Province runs. The ascent took almost the whole day and was very tiring. However, a rest should not be too long, because descent is difficult too, and, in addition, it is much more dangerous than ascent. In 15 minutes, we were descending towards Obburdon Village.

GPS coordinates: 39.501994 Lat, 69.135332 Long, 3961 m

Olá Sergiy,
uma cena curiosa mesmo, e parecem cansados por pedalar nessas montanhas. Os ciclistas acabaram dando um pouco de cor nesse ambiente, gostei.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

Hello Sergiy,
When I see the rough road, read the note and watch the bikers I am in no doubt of the tough challenges facing those who attempt to cross this pass. The tiredness of your friends is quite expressive. Their clothes and equipment are the only things that provide colours in this barren scenery.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Sergiy,

I am very happy you to see again.
The most biker of TE, I bike also much but now with an electric bike something less than ten thousand km par year. (75 year old!)
A fantastic realistic picture after a long trip.
Sharpness and clarity are beautiful.
Composition and persentation are real pleasant.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hello Sergiy,

The terrain looks very dangerous as well as steep!
No wonder the cyclists need a rest before the next part of the journey!
I have seen off-road cyclists careering downhill and marvel at their courage and fitness!

You have clearly shown the conditions of both cyclists and their location.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Sergiy.
My most sincere admiration, for your constancy in this sport so hard, the way in addition to the high altitude, does not seem very easy so loose stones, a good view of the group replenishing forces ....
Very good management of lighting and sharpness.
I wish you a good weekend.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Hello Sergiy
Great picture of this heroic bicycle tour. I think a well-deserved moment to rest and probably also enjoy a fascinating surrounding.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice Sunday.

Hello Serg,

Nice scene from the bike trip. The landscape seems impressive but unfriendly. It must have been very tiring to go by bike at this altitude. Brave guys, not so young.

Hi Sergiy,
Nice daily life photo from your bicycle trip across Tajikistan. After climbing to the top, almost 4000m, everybody relax in thin air before descent. Well done with good quality.
Cheers,
Zbigniew
