China Loop: the grand finale

China Loop: the grand finale

The blog’s been quiet for the past few months.  Many of you have wondered what’s up.   Well, we haven’t tossed in the towel, if that’s what you’re thinking.  And no, we haven’t been lounging on some Thai beach attempting to

The Yi and the Yangtze

The Yi and the Yangtze

After the austere beauty of the Tibetan Plateau, we thought the rest of China might turn into a big disappointment.   Not in the least. How to enjoy cycling ANYWHERE! Alright, the first few days out of Chengdu were a blur

Tibet for Foreigners: Part 4

Tibet for Foreigners: Part 4

A spectacular place to celebrate! I don’t suppose many people get the chance to celebrate a birthday at 4,487 meters.  That’s how Eric began his 47th year, on the top of Balang Shan Pass in China’s Sichuan Province. We hadn’t

Tibet for Foreigners: Part 2

Tibet for Foreigners: Part 2

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh all  the way down the mountain for 15 odd kilometers. Ok maybe it was more like bump, curse, bump.  The rock-strewn Daxuenshan Pass road was rough, and we maxed out at around 8 kms an hour.  Still,

Tibet for Foreigners: Part 1

Tibet for Foreigners: Part 1

Independent Tibet travel for foreigners has been officially off-limits for years.  The occasional intrepid cyclist does manage to sneak in, but most who try it get booted out by the ever-vigilant officers of the PSB (Public Security Bureau). Unwilling to

Another Beautiful Ride for your Bucket List

Another Beautiful Ride for your Bucket List

Southwest China deserves to be near the top of any adventure cyclist’s must-ride list.  The last 3 weeks biking Yunnan province have been some of the best in recent years.  Yunnan is a place of empty spaces, pristine natural beauty

Road Rage: a rocky start in China

Road Rage: a rocky start in China

An enraged local man punches Eric in the face, busting his glasses.  That’s how our China tour began. Actually, there were two men.  The middle-aged guy shook Eric by the collar while the younger one threw the punch. A case

Honey I think I lost my passport: an inauspicious start to 2012

Honey I think I lost my passport:  an inauspicious start to 2012

“What?  You’ve lost your passport?” I shout, mouth gaping in disbelief. The year was off to a highly inauspicious start.  It wasn’t even noon on January 1st 2012 and we’d already witnessed a serious accident involving a semi and a

Unchanged China

Falling in (and out!) of love with China
