Hills! Good leg training this.
My chain snapped 10 km before Menglun. Is someone trying to tell me something? In the past 10 days, I have had:
1. rear rim cracked.
2. puncture.
3. front tyre blow out
4. rear rack bolt sheared off (at 2200 hrs in pitch black after i had been evicted from campspot by drunken lao blokes)
5. chain snapped
Pretty good going?
My 5-star hotel here (you can see 5 stars through the cracks in the roof), 10 yuan a night, has sheets with pictures of a cute little Scottie doggie with the words "faithful companion". The shop across the street sells tins of hong shao gou rou, which translates loosely as doggie in a tin, or more accurately as red-braised dog meat.
