Xi’an
We departed from our little coal-dusted highway paradise early in order to get through to Xi'an in good time! Then everyone could wash their bikes and get the dirt,dust and grime off their bodies and enjoy the sights and sounds of Xi'an! The ride was fairly straightforward and nothing you would write home about but add in a city of 7 million, traffic, bikes, trucks, and some funky directions and now you have a story to tell! Safe to say that everyone is here and happy, clean, most bikes have been dealt with, laundry sent off and the riders are scrubbed, buffed, well-fed and off seeing the terra cotta warriors or enjoying downtown Xi'an. We have been joined by some of the family members of the riders and a close friend of Shanny, our tour leader, so welcome to them. We hope they enjoy the excitment that is the Silk Route. Coming into Xi'an has given us all a taste of what the next couple of weeks are going to be like. The pollution masks have been pulled out and folks are learning quickly all about riding in big cities! Bring it on!
