Hey....I'm headed out to ChongQing this weekend and was just wondering if any fellow riders would like to meet up? Would be great to connect! I will be with a friend or two so I'm not sure yet on...

Hi Fletch, much thanks for the comments. I hope you realize your dream and get out here! I guess Montana might have similar geography but I'm telling you, it's a WORLD of difference as far as road...

Geez....can I live like you?! Awesome report. Never would have thought that densely urban area would be great for riding. You prove this myth wrong. Glad you're having fun! Continue on! :)

Thanks a lot ReyBB! :) Wish you safe riding....

Hi Fahni,

I'm happy to help as much as I can. I did my ride May/June and was lucky to have pretty good weather on riding days; just rain in the mountains and one particularly scary lightning...

HAHAHHAA :D .....yeah, well....if I had a hose it would be a lot easier. I really wonder now if any of you have taken a piss without stepping off the bike. That's a wonderful advantage to have.

Yes, Euphonius. I always research weather and know I'm a tad bit up north. :)

And in regards to photos on trips MotoKai - I like your technique. The funny thing is during my ride, I did the...

Yesterday was my first day of research on it. I found a little information off of some guide/tour sites. What I "dream" about doing is from Urumqi, driving up to the northeast border and entering...

Hi All,

I hope you've had a great summer! :)

I've got a few questions and wondering if anyone has ridden out and about in Outer Mongolia. It's my next planned ride; I've relocated to Chengdu...

Fantastic recount, excellent trip report....was fascinating to view it all from your perspective. Professional looking editing on the video too; it all combines as fuel for inspiration. My upcoming...

Very impressive Felix! You were late for tea....but made the wedding. Insane mileage..
I think it's cool that instead of posting photos you used colorful words to describe your trip. Nothing lost...

Hey "Lion" -

Great photos! I'm glad you had fun and congratulations on your first ride. :) I love your descriptive words of "psychological shadow"....cool way to describe "fear" or "insecure" or...

Congrats you two - awesome, awesome journey!! WoW. Glad you made it safely and hope to meet you guys one day in the future. I totally understand the "withdrawal" from the adventure....it's great...

Pat - I am enjoying your ride report SO much!! I swear, I just got back to work but wish I was out there. I loved the bit about giving the extra plug to the stranded Tibetans, I know exactly what...

I'm so glad to hear you made it Pat! Your Qinqi totally kicks ass for withstanding it all. AMAZING. I'm sorry I missed all of you guys. Hope in the future it will happen....!

Kind thanks Jape!!! :)

I am unsure of whether these videos can be seen by my China compadres. Possibly not.... : /

Oh, so sad. I know.....I will try to do what I can. I need to find a bike first!!! From there, I can work my way toward it.

THAT day Carl, was the highlight ride of the trip. It was magical....I loved the mountain views too but passing the wetlands and the rocks were phenomenal. And I am so happy you explained how the...

Hey Damo - thank you, thank you. I took the photo off. I don't want it it prevent me from being able to enter the country again. I am thinking of making a move out to China now! Excited! ...

Hey, that was an awesome comment. I agree.....I kept thinking of this same thing during the ride as I noticed all the development.

Thanks for your thoughts. And sorry for all the typos. I'm...

A few final thoughts before continuing my trip account, June 12:

My presence was temporary. Befitting for the Tibetan theme. In that short time, I experienced laughing with the children, soaring...

Sadly, the bike I had was already trashed. I didn't do most of the work to it. I laid it down a couple of times but only the last one was the most severe. The bike had been used prior on...

Hi, Hi ni hao everyone?!

Thanks so much for your concern. I am doing perfect except for an ankle issue. I have much to catch up on but I'm in Hong Kong after my bike quit on me in several ways. ...

Hi, would really appreciate it if anyone has input on the road from Ganze, Shiqu to Yushu...
It looks like a long remote stretch and wondering if I should carry a container of fuel....I get about...
