    WBR NWX S3 旅行笔记 Trip notes

    NWX(西北新疆)似乎是沿边境和G219公路骑行新疆的最佳路线。道路大多适合骑行,沿途风景壮丽,且有对外国人友好的住宿点。 关于喀纳斯与河木地区的注意事项如下:九月(国庆假期前)是观赏秋色的理想时节,五月或六月或许也不错?冬季则因严寒不宜前往。无论何时出行都需备好冬季雨具,因极端天气可能突发。上海至伊宁或阿尔泰均有直飞航班(5小时航程)。 NWX (North West Xingjiang) seems to offer the best point to point riding in Xinjiang along the border and G219. Roads are mostly suitable for cycling, scenery is epic and foreigner friendly places to stay along the way. A few points for the Kanas and Hemu Area see below. September before October holiday…

  • WBR S2a SW Xingjiang

    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…

  • 青蛙和生蚝环线 Frogs Oysters Loop

    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…

  • 2021 4+2 FSL

    2021 4+2 FSL

    I’ve been visiting the area since 2012 and used to take my students to the area to learn more about the landscape and horticulture. 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…

  • KKH Equipment

    KKH Equipment

    Roubaix Bikes: perfect for this type of thing. I would say the Roubaix is the perfect touring bike due to its compliance, all-day comfort and speed. Luggage: For this tour I ran 4 bags. Restrap saddle harness bag, frame and top tube bag and Specialized front bar bag. Durable and not too heavy. Basically had…

  • KKH Alternative Routes

    KKH Alternative Routes

    More places to explore! I think we touched the surface in places to ride in the area and will try and go back to the China side this year and maybe PK next. CN Kashgar: There seem to be various route options around Kashgar. Don’t forget your border permits and check what is open or…

  • KKH4 Small hills

    KKH4 Small hills

    Day 10: To Murree Hills A very nice day with a shortish but hilly climb up to the Murree Hill station. Nice and cool and chilled ontop. Recommended as an escape and place to relax a bit. Found a very nice, rather posh, old colonial hotel and setup camp there. Day 11: Murree Loop We…

  • KKH3 Bandit Lands

    KKH3 Bandit Lands

    Day 7: Normal to Chillas. We left the security of Hunza and cycled south getting our first security detail. For the next few days, we basically had armed police following or leading us. Very hospitable of them but not really needed (I guess until too late!). Good riding and good to be dropping in altitude.…

  • KKH2 Hunza Valley

    KKH2 Hunza Valley

    The place to explore! Amazing scenery and people. I hope to be back. Day 5: back up the border – Khunjerab Pass. A massive day of cycling and one of my top 10 rides.. 80km up to 4700m! The climb is not so hard but the air is not so thick, so the last hour…

  • KKH1 Kashgar & China Side

    KKH1 Kashgar & China Side

    I decided to turn up a little early and check out Kashgar. Stayed in the old town. A touch OTT on the disneyfication but that could be said about most old tourist towns anywhere. Cool to check out the old mosque and the sense of scale and markets of the ancient trading center are still…
