Prep Round-China Bike trip, 2-up, April-May 2012

[Fred]

Heya Pete, thanks a lot to try to find all those info !
Hehe, you seem readier than me to do this trip !

As I wrote, I'm not yet to the road-maps of Shandong, for now, I'm doing the precise daily road-maps in Guangxi, Yunnan and Sichuan. After that it'll be Ningxia and Gansu.
I have a 800 RMB taobao order coming up, with all the spare parts/chain lube/accessories I need.
I'll post some pics here later about all the stuff we're packing, and I think I'll post also our complete packing list, it may help or give some guidelines for future reference.


Update : ok, I'm up to Shandong now, spent the whole day on the road-maps !
Basically, because I just love mountains, we'll go from Beijing to Tai'An then Qingdao : the map .

BUT : we read what you wrote Pete about Weihai & Yantai, and depending on the time we have left at the end of the trip, we'll maybe go there, you never know...
We also noted the recommendation for Rizhao, we'll definitely go there after Qingdao, on our way to Nanjing.

Cheers !

Fred
