The idea of riding a bicycle from Pakistan to China Respuesta[pic 2] (come) to me one day in the early summer of 2001. I Respuesta[pic 3] (hike) with friends when someone Respuesta[pic 4] (mention) the subject of cycling. At that moment I had a brainwave*[idea genial y repentina]. Why not ride the Karakoram Highway, the famous mountain road that runs from Islamabad in Pakistan to Kashgar in China? I Respuesta[pic 5] (do)
this trip once before by bus but Respuesta[pic 6] (find) it disappointing as you spend most of the time sitting in the bus.

I Respuesta[pic 7] (never/make) a long bike trip before but I Respuesta[pic 8] (be) reasonably fit as I Respuesta[pic 9] (go) running every day. In fact I Respuesta[pic 10] (plan) to take part in a charity walk in Hong Kong later in the year and Respuesta[pic 11] (train) for three months. However, my annual leave was coming up and I wanted to do something energetic.

That very same evening I Respuesta[pic 12] (go) onto the Internet and read everything I could about the journey and about long-distance cycle touring. Then I Respuesta[pic 13] (decide) what kind of bike and equipment to buy and the route I would take. A week later I Respuesta[pic 14] (make) most of my preparations.

I Respuesta[pic 15] (finish) work in the evening on 31 August and immediately Respuesta[pic 16] (fly) to London. There I Respuesta[pic 17] (buy) the bike and made a three-day trip into the countryside to check the equipment and get the feel of riding a bike with a heavy load. A day later I was on the plane to Pakistan.

I Respuesta[pic 18] (arrive) in the capital, Islamabad, in the early morning, unpacked my bike and attached the panniers*[bolsas que van a los lados de una bicicleta]. Then under the curious eyes of other passengers, I Respuesta[pic 19] (climb) into the saddle*[asiento de bicicleta] and Respuesta[pic 20] (cycle) out of the airport. What a feeling of freedom and excitement as I Respuesta[pic 21] (ever/have) so far.

This Respuesta[pic 22] (happen) over twenty years ago. I Respuesta[pic 23] (stay) with some friends who Respuesta[pic 24] (buy) a cottage in southern Italy and I was flying back home to London.

We were about twenty minutes into the flight when I Respuesta[pic 25] (realise) something was wrong. We Respuesta[pic 26] (climb) to 10,000 meters and the pilot had switched off the seat belt sign.

We Respuesta[pic 27] (fly) smoothly for about five mintues when I Respuesta[pic 28] (see) an old man on the other side of the cabin staring out of the window with an expression of pure terror on his face. Then he Respuesta[pic 29] (raise) his hands in the air and Respuesta[pic 30] (say) very loudly, 'My God, we are all going to die!'

Two flight attendants, who Respuesta[pic 31] (chat) nearby, came over and looked out of the window. One of them immediately Respuesta[pic 32] (run) to the front of the plane and Respuesta[pic 33] (go) into the cockpit*[cabina de mando], and at the same time, I Respuesta[pic 34] (feel) the plane
begin to lose height.
