Excerpt from Around the World on a Bicycle: From Teheran to Yokohama
During the winter I have examined, as far as circumstances have permitted, the merits and demerits Of the different routes to the Pacific Coast, and have decided upon going through Turkestan and Southern Siberia to the Amoor Valley, and thence either follow down the valley to Vladivostok or strike across Mongolia to Pekin the latter route by preference, if upon reaching Irkutsk I find it to be practicable; if not practicable, then the Amoor Valley route from necessity. This route I approve of, as it will not only take me through some of the most interesting country in Asia, but will probably be a more straightaway continuous land-journey than any other. The distance from Teheran to Vladivostok is some Six thousand miles, and, well aware that six thousand miles with a bicycle over Asiatic roads is a task Of no little magnitude, I at once determine upon taking advantage Of the fair March weather to ac complish at least the first Six hundred miles of the journey between Teheran and Meshed, one Of the holy cities of Persia.
