WBR S2a SW Xingjiang
South of the Tianshan Range! Quite a tough section. Think if you really want to cycle this. There is better cycling north, traffic on the Duku G217 is crazy and scary and roads turn into motorways! Kashgar 喀什 Easy flight to Kashgar. Nice new hotel near the old town. Some nice walks around the old…

Quick Stopovers
You most likely have to stop on the way to Kashgar so might as well check out a few places enroute. Urumqi is a practical jumping point and is good for a day visit. we stayed in People’s Park, walked around the Bazaar and visited the museum. Rented a car and drove 2h to Turpan.…

青蛙和生蚝环线 Frogs Oysters Loop
沿着安静的道路和自行车道，在英格兰南部和法国北部进行一次轻松的小旅行。我认为这是新手骑手或初次来到这个地区的自行车旅行者的完美路线。轻装上阵，行李不多，沿途在朋友家和酒店住宿，沿着国家自行车道骑行，同时大吃大喝，这真是一次非常愉快的放松体验。我花了 7 天的时间骑行了 1260 公里，但我建议你可以花10天内完成，或者花两周时间游览巴黎。骑自行车进行这种旅行确实会带来更好的体验。 https://ridewithgps.com/collections/2806314 I wanted to visit some old Shanghai friends who had moved back and get some KM’s on the legs. I also wanted to try out the English and French bike lanes to see how they work and how beginner-friendly they are. I therefore put together a little loop from…

骑行旅行节能减排 My Adventure Cycling Carbon Footprint
JJ – 2024 年夏季 Cycling Trip Offsets 结论 Conclusions 简介 Intro 我非常享受在中国和亚洲的探险之旅，但我真的不希望它导致我所体验的一切遭到破坏。旅行是造成我们环境足迹的主要因素，我试图尽可能地理解和减少这一点，同时仍然享受我努力体验的一切。 与朋友聊天，做一些研究，并试图为自己制定一个更好的计划，我开始实施以下几点： 理解：我的旅行和探险对我所到之处的环境有何负面影响。目前大部分关注的是碳，但我也开始从水、浪费、栖息地和其他环境因素来思考这个问题 推广“更清洁”的旅行：尝试向中国的旅行者和旅行机构推广这一理念。 减少：最小化、减少或消除某些旅行方式 碳中和：这是一个很长期的工作，但比什么都不做要好 我最近去了内蒙古，探索可行的碎石赛道路线，避开上海的雨季。这是我第二次去那里，第一次去是去年，为了推动和更好地了解我们可以在哪里驾驶能源汽车，以及在这样的探险之旅中使用能源汽车是否可行。 蔚来非常慷慨地借给我们两辆电动汽车。在旅途中，我们两次电量只剩下 1%，这次经历在一定程度上限制了我们的体验。这完全是因为偏远村庄（可以理解）和城镇的充电基础设施不够或不可用。一年后，看上去有更多的在线充电设施，到 2030 年，我猜中国将拥有一个令人惊叹的充电网络。在华东地区，我也曾驾驶过蔚来的电动汽车，我建议去试试，这是一次有趣的探险体验。如果你能租到混合动力车，那它可能是最佳选择。更多信息见下文。 I really really enjoy my adventure travel in China and Asia but don’t really want it to lead to the destruction of what I’m out there to experience. Travel is a leading contributor…

During covid, in 2021, a friend and myself managed to escape Shanghai to research the area for further trips. A really nice drive and bike around the area. This was followed…
