To keep things simple, we'll be putting our favorite images from our 'round-the-world trip on Instagram. Here are a few recent ones from our feed. Resolution gets scaled down quite a bit, so if you'd like a copy of a photograph at a higher quality, just drop us a line.

Day 365. 4,655 meters; 15,272 feet. With the steep grades and thin air (and intermittent snow), this was probably the hardest climb of my life. The last kilometer or so had me pushing my bike about five steps, taking a thirty-second breather, then he
Saying goodbye to @a_bicyclette_ , who we've loved riding with since Osh, as we turn south to the Wakhan Valley and they chart a course though the rocky, remote Bartang Valley.
Tajikistan is a tough place to cycle. It is cold and windy and mountainous and, most of all, very, very high. Lauren's been having a bit of difficulty with the altitude. After a really tough pass at the Kyrgyz/Tajik border, she couldn't quite catch h

A few nights ago we set up camp near a little creek outside a village. A family living in a nearby house noticed our small settlement of tents and bikes and camp kitchens. They came by—not to chase us away from their home, but rather to offer u
13,000+ feet of climbing in 115 miles. ↗️↗️↗️ Tough on the legs; easy on the eyes.
Great roads, great views, great company. 👌 After nine relaxing days in Osh, it's nice to be back on the bikes and heading up into the mountains.
