Jiayuguan
After just three riding days, we have arrived to another rest day at our hotel in another exciting town in China.
Jiayuguan is home to the western most portion of the great wall, and so riders will have there first glimpse of the wall that will re-appear again before the end of the tour.
Desert camp last night was great - a nice camp fire, surprisingly pleasant night-time temparatures and another great meal - pork kebabs and lots of tasty vegatables.
Sadly, the desert camps are now few and far between, as the fall temparatures continue to drop, we'll be forced to stay in more hotels. I personal prefer the camp experience. Its a much better way to feel the community of this travelling band of cyclists.
Just a few weeks now really until Beijing! Its hard to believe. Next week onto Lanzhau, then Xian, and Beijing.
