October Holidays: Suzhou - Fuzhou - Suzhou

[felix]

Hello all, this is not a ride report yet, but it hopefully will be next week! I have 6 days off for the chinese October holidays and intend to not waste a single minute!

The plan is to ride to Fuzhou and back going through as many mountains as possible. It will be roughly 400km a day, provided nothing goes horribly wrong. Here's the route:



I won't be doing it alone, a good chinese friend of mine is coming along too. He rides a street bike that he built up himself around the same Loncin 250 air cooled engine as my XTR. We should be pretty evenly matched. Here's a pic of our bikes from a previous trip.



Check back in a week to find out what happened!

Wishing everyone a happy holiday!

Looks like a nice route. What is your schedule for doing this?

I hope you don't mind my asking the question. Motorkai and I are contemplating a trip towards the same general areas as in your plan. Our tentative plan calls for an early start on the 2nd, starting off from Shanghai of course.

I'm 50/50 on heading up to Fuzhou from Guangdong. Keep the rubber side down and I hope you boys have a great trip.

Cheers!

TA, cheers!

Milton, i only have 6 days so the plan is 3 days to fuzhou, 3 days to come back. There'll be no sightseeing or any of that, it's just gonna be driving all day and sleeping all night! We're taking the westerly route down and easterly back up. My phone number is in a PM, send me a text if you think we can cross paths!

ChinaV, would be great to see you there but i won't be too pissed if you can't make it. Anyway we'd only have time to say hello and possibly a quicky. Keep me posted!

Safe riding to all!

Sabine, best of luck on your travels, i hope you don't freeze! Keep it horizontal!
