Lots of planning
Been busy planning for this trip! A bit worried about cold weather at the end of April at 4000+ meters! Also the recent security situation. Both seem manageable and within our risk acceptance parameters! Anyway better to be a bit over prepared and geared for this type of thing. Self-sufficient, take all our own gear,…

斯里兰卡骑行之旅
2024 02: 主路有点疯狂，没有骑行乐趣。 小路提供了良好的骑行体验，因此请尝试仅通过乡村小路、砾石运河路和清静、起伏的小路来规划路线。 强烈建议使用砾石自行车，并配备大量变速来应对陡峭的路面，而一些半光滑的胖胎（例如 Sworks 42 ）非常适合恶劣的道路和干燥的越野路线。 找一辆后援车很方便，而且不是很贵。 一年中的这个时候天气很好，但请记住防晒霜！ 美味的食物、非常好的服务、很多值得一看的东西和有趣的住宿，完美的假期（或骑行）……。 Cycling in Sri Lanker 2024 02: The main roads are kind of crazy and no fun for cycling. The back roads offer a good cycling experience so try and plot your routes only via the village lanes, gravel canal roads , and quiet, undulating…

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…

225km 3500m Dong Van to Cao Bang Was expecting a long day but not this long but nothing to complain about! Morning started off with tired legs from the day before but stunning views of the rocky landscape and pinnacle hills made me forget that. The highlight of the scenery of the trip!. A very…

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…

SFR D9
15th 150km Bac Ha to Ha Giang Day 9 was a nice day. Started off a bit wet but was there for the famous Sunday market which was cool. Explored that quickly and then found a back road down which turned out to be under construction and then a landslide had destroyed what remained of…

SFR D8
100km Sapa to Bac Ha Day 8 was miserable weather. Stomach was miserable. Went back to bed. Woke mid morning and decided i had to make progress regardless. Bought a rain cape, got on the bike and slowly made it down the mountain on the back route which would have been nice in better weather.…

SFR D4
220km MX to Dien Bien Phu, 3000m two big climbs. Long massive day with the trots. Nice resort gave me food poisoning and 15km out of my way. Don’t bother trying to take short cuts in Laos. It’s not a thing and you will end up climbing a mountain quickly. A bit of up and…
