Moron to Moron: Two men, two bikes, one Mongolian misadventure.In July 2010, Tom Doig and his best mate Tama Pugsley cycled 1487 kilometres across northern Mongolia from a small town called Moron to a smaller town also called Moron. Why? Because it was there. Armed with spandex unitards, Chinese steel-frame mountain bikes, unidentifiable meat product and a woefully inadequate phrasebook, these two morons blunder into some of the world's most remote and beautiful wilderness--and triumph. Sort of.Here are snippets from their adventures. You can get the full lowdown in Tom's book, more information is available here:http://bit.ly/Moron2Moron

Tama had just flown into town and he regaled me with tales of his new life in New York and his latest drinking-and-jumping accident—a broken collarbone sustained a couple of months ago on his thirtieth birthday and ‘pretty much healed’ except for a prominent alien-head lump of extra bone near his neck, which threatened to burst through his T-shirt.

‘The doctor said not to do any heavy lifting for three months, and no cycling for, like, six months,’ Tama said, knocking back his whisky and pouring another. ‘I told him I was going to mountain-bike across Mongolia, and he said it was the worst idea he’d ever heard—but I reckon I’ll be sweet.’
