Bloody fantastic going mate, those shitty pikey truck infested hellish broken dusty suicidal peasant areas are enough to make anyone want to unleash napalm to cleanse the area for the good of mankind, good on you for endlessly pushing through that shyte

this sums up Ch!na pretty darn good IMO.

True, you are right!

Fuck me, don't you wish you hadn't left that stretch til last...

Still, massive congrats on completing all the (accessible) provinces.

Yeah, I know what you mean, i'm not sure if i'd done that bit first i'd have wanted to ride anywhere else in China! But it was a certainly a very poor ride and i won't be revisiting those provinces even if threatened with death! Next i'm gonna ride the bike back to Shenzhen from Shanghai, i know Fujian is great and Motokai has some cool places starred in Zhejiang so that will be a nice ride and a good way to finish the road riding year for me...before the Guangdong enduro season starts.

Hit me up when you are in Zhejiang, even better if you will have several days, as I am always more than happy to take a fellow peep on some rides round my neighbourhood. Many mountain rides to share here. One day I plan to post all my favourite Zhejiang tracks...

As a newbie my riding skills are too poor to join you guys on a ride, though I would love to see this post with your favorite tracks in Zhejiang. Ill chip in with my favorite tracks around Taizhou and Wenzhou.

Ah, glad to hear you're still going to do zhejiang and fujian. That should sort your head out.

You've been saying that for years!
