Enter Tibet
D6: was a rest day, organizing my bags and gear, cleaning the bike, and meeting the guide/driver. I enjoy my 4+2, but it’s been me doing the driving and having the flexibility to do my own planning. This is quite different, a regimented itinerary, permits, and a guide with you. It’s also not the cheapest…

The Start!
Finally off on the start of my Shangri-La to Lhasa cycle trip. It’s been a long-term goal of mine to get some cycling done in Tibet. I’ve never been and am interested in the area, culture, and whether I can handle the altitude while enjoying myself. The trip will take about three weeks. For the…

SFR Day 12 & 13
Day 12 was 136km Cao Bang to Pingxiang Not much to report on this day. First half was visually more interesting than 2nd. Crossing the border was uneventful. Pingxiang could have been a nice city in the pinnacle hills but in need of a spring clean. Day 12 was 195km to Nanning Airport A horrible wet…

SFR 10
150km 3500m Ha Giang to Dong Van An epic day. My stomach cleared up overnight and feeling a little stronger. Pleased, as this turned out to be the hardest day. Basically what felt like nonstop climbing for most of it and most of the 3 climbs were at 10%. Got a bit paranoid about not…
