In April 2010, Eleanor Moseman left Shanghai on a journey of more than 10,000 miles, across 3 countries, on one bicycle. This is where she updates from the road.
"bike ride – Google Earth tentative route."

Here is a Google Earth file, that will open showing points, and
ideal/alternative routes. There are issues of going into Tibet – I have
sent some emails to other cyclists that have made it through…so I am
awaiting some words of advice.

Now, I need to get the approximate mileage on this route. The Mongolia
trek may just not be possible within the time frame. I am also writing to
others about getting through Pakistan as a lone female. I have only
encountered travelogues of groups of women, and men solo making it through
that country. There is fair warnings to be weary of a single female
traveling through.

Just wanted to touch base with both of you. I am going to begin research
on bicycle sponsors within the next couple of weeks. Once I have a
bicycle, tent, and panniers – I am not worried about much more.

I have also been keeping a journal going about the planning – offline,
good ol’fashion pen and notebook. Please let me know if you don’t have
Google Earth access and I’ll plot some points on a 2d map and send it your
way.
