Delhi
After an overnight bus trip from Srinagar I am in unbearably hot Delhi again. I bought some tools which will enable me to fix the bike for the flight.
Well, I guess it's over. I am extremly pleased with this quick tour. In short time I've crossed a range of natural sceneries, from the north Indian planes, transition sub-tropic forrests, Alpine-like scenaries, baren high altitude mountains, dry Ladakh and dramatic Kashmir. The cultures changed accordingly, although it was too fast to notice all the nuances.
This trip was a substitute for a retry of Kashgar-Lhasa crossing, which I couldn't make this year. However all the adventures that I experienced, the climbs and descends that I made and fantastic scenery all along this journey satisfied me enough that I don't consider the return trip to Tibet necessary any more.
For those (like me) who find cycling data useful, here they are: 15 cycling days, 1 rest day; averages per cycling day: 110 km, 7h 9min, 15.7 km/h, 1035m of climbing.
Some more information about this and other rides are here.

Igor,
Congrats on finishing your trip. I'm glad you enjoyed it;) Rich
Some interesting travel tales here!
Thanks shirazi. It was fun keeping the blog on the trip. Next time I'll make a bigger effort to correct the spelling and grammar errors ;).
I just did that trip by car, and i thought it was a tough (but utterly beautiful) one. what can I say you are a superhero for doing this by bike. My respect, and very nice work with the blog and the photos.
