    Hi ChinaV

    Due to your last post I was so happy to find your RR thread , can I say it one of the best RR I have read well written with great photos , over the last 2 years been riding back and too Thailand from Hainan so a lot of the area and roads I am familiar with , Yunnan and Sichuan are IMO the best province to ride around with Hainan comes in close 3rd , Had a look at the picture of the left bend by the bridge that you took a dive , is that water on the road from the brakes of a truck ???

    Because I have found on my riding in that area a few time I have hit area of wet patches on bends and the front wheels just lets go ??? could be .... just happy you was ok.

    Hoping to move to Ya'an in Sichuan shortly to have a new base to ride from with Gongga mountain only 135km west of Ya'an it looks about the best location to have a base to explore the area from

    Great RR

    The photos are cool Prince666. As you know, it's pretty boring until you hit Yunnan.

    This is the route we took, the map in the first post wast the planned ride, this is what we actually did. Each color is a different day.



    I highly recommend Panzhihua to Luguhu and then that back road we took out of Luguhu. I'm very curious to know if they ever finished the roads that take you to Daocheng (S216 & S217 on google maps). I know so many people that have ridden G214 (which is nice), but there's some seriously beautiful stuff off the beaten path north of Luguhu.

    Thanks for the compliments, the ride was epic and putting together the ride report was more work than the actual ride. Five years later, I'm glad I did it, I forgot so many things, and the ride report brought it all back.

    Cheers!
