You might think riding Mongolia would be all about temples, eagles, the Gobi and 2500km of off-road tracks uninterrupted by fences. You’d be right, except it’s all that and so much more. Ex-pat Aussie Denise Bentall joined a Britton Adventures tour to find out first-hand.
The crew. Denise, the author, is third from the left.
Relieved to survive the erratic traffic of Mongolia’s capital Ulaan Baatar, local lead rider Munko shot off the four metre road embankment and into the steppes of Mongolia. Instead of choosing a more sensible line I braced myself for the descent and remarkably stayed on. Rachael, my daughter, thought: ‘Mum made that look easy’ and followed.
That started the wonderful 17-day adventure.
