Take the first left…
Goodbye to hills, headwinds and hot weather. Today was all about navigation, mastering the series of turns that Chris had worked into today's route and getting to the hotel on time. Miles received many phone calls about where riders were, or were not, and if you missed one turn - 'you were stuffed'! Eventually all the riders all turned up. Our days have become navigation city. One must master all the twists, turns and traffic that make up populated China. The riders are dirty, the bikes are filthy, the trucks are grubby and we cannot wait to chuck out clothes. It is less than two weeks from Beijing and all we can think about is new directions and food! Thankfully, Miles was back on board with some delicious pasta fara this evening, Phil was tending to the bikes, Elaine had the first aid covered, Wimpie, Thor and Errol mananged with the trucks as they always do, Darryl spent the day editing movie clips, Duncan and Shanny had the day's logistics planned and Chris, Mr Xu and Zabie checked out the route for tomorrow. Henry? Well, he has just continued to ride his bike through it all!
