Although we would be able to pick the journey up from Meangee when we set off again, it felt as though all the ground we had gained over those first, difficult 12 days was now lost.
This sentence talks of two cyclers who try to cycle through Siberia. After 12 days of painstaking cycling, one of them broke his bike and had to go back to the town where they had started to get the vehicle repaired.
The word Meangee here does seem like a place name, does it have any peculier meaning in English?
Sounds like a place name to me. I know of no word in English that's similar.
@Nancy88,
Not that I'm aware of, Nancy. I think that you've nailed it!
I just googled 'Meangee, Siberia' and your post is the first hit. Congratulations!
[Maybe that little square at the end of 'Meangee' is another letter that might have made the search different.]
@Lustig Andrei,
It must be a very very esoteric location in Russia. It absolutely confused Google.
The quote comes from a book,
Quote:Cycling Home From Siberia, by Rob Lilwall, chapter 7, page 34....

@tsarstepan,
Good idea, Tsars, to google the quote.
