it finally stopped raining so i went in search of the road least travelled about the area, but first a quick stop at the yangzhou ramada hotel for breakfast

the valet parking is a nice touch and the buffet brekkie for 55kuai is pretty good value

in search of the smallest possible road, the trick seems to be just keep turning onto smaller roads than the one you are on. so i took this one

found these parking barriers are very handy for chain oiling and a adjustment

Love the valet parking trick. I do that all the time at five-star hotels here in Shanghai, but on my Giant Khan bicycle. Always good for a few laughs, and I love coming out of the hotel with my parking redemption ticket and asking for my bike back.

That said, I'm not altogether sure I'd want either of those two Ramada stiffs out riding on my bike!

cheers
