morning wind

The distance today is relatively far, 182 kilometers. I set off early in the morning. I got up at 6 o'clock. Some cyclists got up at 3.30. They had egg fried rice in the morning. There were more cyclists today. They had to climb Mount Mira in the morning. It was very hot when we set off. It was not bright yet, so we set off with a flashlight, and it was relatively cold in the morning.

Today is the last day of riding. I also climbed the last 5,000-meter mountain Mira Mountain. I was in good condition today. I passed many cyclists along the way. It took me two hours to climb more than 28 kilometers without resting in the middle. I have completed myself. It’s a little challenge.

Mila Mountain Pass

Because I arrived relatively early and had to wait for my teammates to take a photo together, I took a photo with other riders first. It was still a bit cold up there, and then I and Lao Deng went to the toilet door to hide from the wind and wait for our teammates, and played a game in the middle. The teammates gathered and took pictures together before going down the mountain.

Scenery on the road

The scenery along the way was pretty good. We had lunch when we came down the mountain at noon. We originally planned to eat dry food on the way, but then we thought about it and arrived later. After dinner, Lao Fan and I took a nap, and they set off first. , only the two of us and my eldest brother were left. They walked for more than 50 minutes before we set off. Lao Fan and I were faster. After riding for 50 kilometers, the average speed reached 30, which allowed me to experience the feeling of breaking the wind, but unfortunately Unfortunately, the eldest brother was the only one left behind. He was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he drove some distance away before we joined the larger group.

I arrived at the Potala Palace in Lhasa at 7.30 pm. When I was about to enter the city, I saw the Potala Palace. At that time, tears could not help but roll in my eyes. Finally it was here. This month of rising early and staying late, a month of wind and rain It's worth the fight. Finally, we took a quick rest at the inn and then returned to the inn.

All good things come to an end

Finally, we made a few simple dishes at the inn, and Dalei and his eldest brother bought wine and drinks. Since the next day, teammates started to go home one after another. This should be considered a breakup meal. We chatted during the meal. The hardships along the way, where the roads are bad, which mountains are more difficult to climb, where there is more despair, and where there are high altitude sickness, it is not easy for our team from the beginning to the end, on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line There are also relatively few teams that can go all the way to the end.

We met because of riding, and because we share the same goals, we stayed together for 26 days, but there is no such thing as a banquet that never ends, so in the end we went our separate ways.

Cycling in Lhasa, a perfect ending

Twenty-four days, 2100 kilometers

From the initial plan to going to Chengdu alone, and then meeting this group of lovely people. At the beginning, no one could guarantee that the 10 of us would be able to make it all the way to Lhasa as a team, but we got there just like that. There were too many laughters along the way, flat tires and car crashes, laughter and tears, and the despair of climbing, but in the end we persisted in reaching Lhasa.

No matter how many years I go through, no matter how far I travel, I deeply miss that road that once led me to meet you.

Finally, thank you all for your company along the way! ! !

Goodbye in the world! ! !
