After I first waited for better weather, I started cycling at 3pm. The Atigun Pass was completely covered in clouds and it was very cold up there.
On the northern side the weather was significantely better and I enjoyed a great downhill. I am now getting into an area with moskitos in numbers as I have never experienced it before. But since it is still cold I am wrapped in clothes anyway...
