Dear friends. I want to ride by bicycle from Chelyabinsk via Karaghanda to Bishkek or from Orel on road M 32 to Tashkent. I have learned that in some places the roads in Kazakhstan are very bad, but I would like to know about the latest information on the condition on those roads. If it is true, it takes only 20 hours to cover 1,000 km from Karaghanda to Almaty by bus. So the road can not be that bad. If nobody knows about the actual condition of M 32 and M 36 then it would be helpful to me if someone can tell me how long is travelling-time by bus or car from Chelyabinsk to Astana and Orel to Aktöbe to Tashkent. Thank you for your help. Oetterer
