Andy,

That was a great ride report, thanks for sharing your adventure .

Nujiang, amazing, when are we going?

I enjoyed your tales of getting on the freeway, looks like their is a little bit of the devil inside you after all . I used the same technique in Guizhou province and was fortunate that nobody really seamed to care.

CrazyCarl and I stayed in Lijiang for two days and didn't have any trouble riding our bikes to our hotel in the old town. It's a very comfortable city even though it's a bit "touristy".

Cheers!
