Cycling the world - Asia: episode 40
I continue my ride across the endless deserts of Oman, leaving a strange campsite beside an abandoned building and a cell tower before pushing south toward Haima. The days blur together in a landscape of highways, petrol stations, camels and heat, broken only by brief moments of shade under overpasses and roadside prayer shelters. Ramadan makes even simple tasks like buying food an adventure, while long distances and monotony test my patience. Along the way I discover damage to my bike frame, resupply in remote towns and camp night after night in the desert. As the journey toward Salalah continues, the challenge becomes less about climbing mountains and more about enduring the vast emptiness of Oman.
