    I've joined the motor group,The Exorcist,they organized a mountain run on 17 July,Chuandixia,Mentougou.I've been hesitating from Monday to Thursday,eventually,I've decided to join it according my wife's permission,so,my first mountain run is coming.
    The reasons of hesitation:

    1、Complete newbie:I've never touched motor before I went to Haidian Driving School;

    2、Too short time to ride:just for 6 days ,500km after I got my motor from last Saturday;

    3、Psychological shadow:four time fall down during six days' riding,a little psychological shadow to fall down again;

    4、Mountain road:It's a difficult road situation to newbie as me,different condition from normal road,no experience about it;

    5、Ride through express highway:I'm afraid I can't follow them.

    But,it's a must to come for me,so ,I've decided to go at last.
    There was a party on Friday night,to celebrate one friend's kid's full month,after dinner,my colleague called me to play majiang,god,it's a hard game to refuse,so,played with the two boring guys till 5am.It means I didn't sleep the whole night.

    Nothing could stop me from this first time's mountain run.I arrived at the meeting place at 6:40am on Saturday,the gate of Tongzhou Hospital.
    There were 13 motors gathered in tongzhou,lots of cool motors which I couldn't call the name.

    Go,on the way,east and north ring6:

    Dear Lion,

    Very much looking forward to reading your post and seeing your pictures, but please please please please fix your method of posting pix. I think for many of us your previous thread was a wasted effort because none of your pictures could be viewed.

    Now you've started a new thread and I can see only one picture!

    thanks and cheers!

    It's a bit better, but still many of your pix come up with a note saying 此图片限搜狐站内可见. So Sohu may not be the best place to host your pictures, unless you can make them available to anyone.

    It may also be very difficult for MCM members who are not inside China to see pictures that are posted on a site that is inside the China firewall.

    Think internationally!

    cheers

    Ok,go on...

    The road condition is very good,the turns are perfect,but a little pity,more cars than usual on weekend on the road.We arrived at a happy farmhouse(农家乐),some of us chose to have a rest there including me,the others ride up to the top of the hill ,to enoy the steering turns.

    Dear Lion,

    Whatever you did it seems to be working now!

    Great story, fun pix. Is it fair to say you are enjoying yourself and your new bike?

    Thanks!
