Beijing-Shanghai late June

[Metalmonkey]

So I've just bought a bike in Beijing. Is shubens x2. My plan now is to ride it from there back to Shanghai (where I live)in the late part of June. I have nine days and the first day will be taken getting to Beijing, so eight. I've planned to take in coastal Shandong, to visit yantai and qingdao. So Beijing-yantai-Qinghai-Shanghai. The approximate route is in the pictures attached or below. Baidu gives this as 1, 700km. Any tips? Anyone available for any part of the trip?
Concerns are that I can't take the express roads... Getting across the Chang Jiang involves finding a smaller road or ferry.. Other concerns...a sore bum? As it's an enduro bike.
. This morning I looked at baidu maps similar to Google earth with topography included... It seems to be mostly flat. Anyone know of scenic spots or must see parts of this coastal trip.. Or perhaps I should scrap out and go more direct inland? Opinions welcome. [ATTACH=CONFIG]19311[/INSERT][ATTACH=CONFIG]19312[/INSERT][ATTACH=CONFIG]19313[/INSERT]image.jpgimage.jpg
