Georgia’s Batumi was most definitely the place to meet other tourers!
Cycling along the beachfront from where I free-camped I’m whistled at by Holy + David, they’re cycling from England to Oz, whom in Turkey ‘picked up’ Tom, a Lithuanian cyclist on a two-year five continent tour, later we’re joined by Jose’, a Spanish who had previously met Tom - he's heading for Malaysia, then a few days later at the hostel we meet three Manchester lads, also cycling to Oz. Heading the same way we decide to ride out together, and on the second day out we met Marcal + Ingris, a Dutch couple presently in the third year of their tour, travelling in whichever direction they choose each day.
Here's the ten of us on a bridge making our way up the (extremely rough) Goderdzi 2025 metre pass.

I'm right on your tail! Trying to catch up with the Manchester Lads.
Completed the 2025m two days ago and today I got to Tbilisi. That road was HORRENDOUS!!

That's cool.
Ortlieb could use that for marketing too!

Or did I spot some different panniers at the end?

Hi James. Yer that pass was the worst 'road' I've ever been on (and I've cycled to Cape Town!!). We've had a good laugh with the Manchester 3, they take the ferry tomorrow over the Caspian sea, while us other three await our Uzbekistan visa, recent changes within Kazakhstan means Brits & 9 other countries are visa free..yee bloody ha!! Maybe we'll meet up.
