We would thoroughly recommend to anyone who fancies a bit of a challenge to cycle the 950km route between Mashhad and Yazd through the desert which crosses 6 ranges of mountains with large salty desert plains separating them, and climbs in total about 7000m over the 9-12 days that it takes to complete the journey.We heard about it from the Travelling Two’s website and have made a couple of guides to help anyone who wants to ride it.

Here’s a short slideshow that should give you an idea of what to expect:
