Huber, I rode with Helge Pedersen from Shanghai to Muchich, so the reverse of your trip. I know all the difficulties you can run into in Russia. Police being the biggest. Winter ? We rode in May/June and it was cold. November ? You better get South, young man ! It is important to write so we can see that you are ok. Just a little note is ok. You can do the pictures later, when you have time.
