Re: Short ride to Taihu Lake
Dear Fred,
Great to see you out there doin' it! But you are too modest not to have framed your bike with the aircraft carrier! (Incidentally, I think the aircraft carrier is made of concrete.)
Be super careful and aware on any new road in China, as they are far more likely to have manholes without covers and other "rough edges" that could prove catastrophic to a bike.
Envy!

Euphonius, do you have any info about this carrier ? Why on earth would they bother creating a full size replica in concrete ??
I imagine the secret meeting in the PLA : "we'll build a concrete carrier to fool those damn Yankees and their spy satellites !" and proceeding to build it on a lake.....
Hahaha...
Re: Short ride to Taihu Lake
Nice one Fred. Good to see you getting out and about on your new wheels. :riding:
That's an absolute master stroke you pulled at work blagging a 3 day week. :thumbsup:
All being well i should have my license mid to late April so hopefully i can join you on that Zhejiang run. (I can also easily blag time off work :naughty: )

Google helps us out a bit with the replica aircraft carrier but not a lot...

Re: Short ride to Taihu Lake
There's a theme park with aircraft carrier in Tianjin as well.
Went to a party on that one 2 years ago. Here you go!
