Off to the Army city we go 26th June

We finally leave the Sichuan province and enter into the Shaanxi province. Thankfully we have a shortish day due to us doing more of the miles yesterday and in typical fashion of eastern China it is to start the day in Rain with roads that are thankfully good, just need to watch out for the landslides. Did not bother with the rain suite as it is to warm and once it stops raining, everything dries out very quickly.





This eventually gets to a main city and we turn right to head for Xian, then a traffic jam for no reason at all, maybe because it is a Saturday and everyone is in town for a market?

Then a few miles of roadwork’s and road closures but finally we hit the outskirts of Xian and could not resist a picture with the bike outside the temple

It was at this point that Kevin went past hooting his horn with Adam the cameraman on the back.
Well the next eight miles were pure adrenalin as we dived around and through traffic, Police trying to stop us and it will make great footage for the DVD. Adam said it was brilliant and could not believe some of the stuff we were doing. I say give the Chinese a taste of their driving HA!

11104 miles - Xi’an, China
