    What route you going to take? I would suggest going by Lugu Hu if you can! That will make the ride MUCH more interesting than going to Panzhihua.

    Also, get in touch with DHFox. He's in Chengdu and has a CJ.

    Hey! very interesed, but i think i'd only give it some serious thought if it could be done in 1 week or less. will likely be impossible to get 2 weeks off work.

    the trip is only about 1000km right? why such a long time?

    One week or less would be fine with me as well...meet on a Friday evening in Chengdu and start on Saturday morning. One week should be possible, if the CJ dont have serious break down. Max 9 days and everybody back to work...
    I need to back in KMG by 20.03. either before, or the week after.

    The Expressway road throgh Yibin was 850km, so the route through Panzihua will be over 1000km, more scenic over Lugu Lake, Lijiang and Dali more like 1500km!

    Thank for your replies.
    I need to be more specific. With my CJ Fleet I drive with 4 Friends from Nanchang to Chengdu during CNY. After that i like to drive them with other people to Kunming. If somebody only have 1 Week or 10 Days also fine, i´m flexible. Personally i dedicate this year to Bikeriding and enjoy to have Company. The Year Plan is ride the Bikes from Kunming to Lhasa. Then Lhasa - Lhasa and then Lhasa Chengdu. They are new Bikes 32 hp with some adjustmets.

    That sounds like a lot of fun, wish I had a sidecar license, unfortunately I only have a C1E. Very nice of you to make such a generous offer.

    Cheers!

    One week should be plenty of time to go Lugu, Lijiang and Dali. As soon as you're in Lijiang, the roads are all excellent. Most of the roads on that route will be quite good except for some sections between Chengdu and Lugu...but even those may have been cleared up by now.
