DAY 55 - The MKRIDE team safely arrived in Kunming today. We started our morning way behind as we decided that we needed to make a tire change. Our TKC 80 tires just were not providing the traction and control we need for the tarmac and wet conditions we are facing in Yunnan province so we put back on our street tires and made our way to Kunming. Our journey was marked by freezing rain, high winds and frozen hands, yes my hand warmers have been on the fritz for the last 3000km. It took almost 30 minutes of a seriously hot shower to bring my body temperature back up to "human levels".
