Day3: Liulimiao-Tanghekou-Labagoumen-Fengning, 55km

All we had to ride are mountain roads today. Soon we arrived at Tanghekou,

Riding up on slopes is laborious, but rushing downhill is fantastic. That’s the happiness of the sport, the air was fresh and the sencery was enjoyable. 30km to Fengning

Day4 Fengning-Tucheng-Kulongshan-Datan, 40km

The road to Tucheng,which means town of dirt, was dusty and bumpy. Alone the road some people were selling agate stones digged nearby. There was a grove of trees, which was named “Friendship Grove of China and Japan.”

There were many singing grasshoppers in the bush.

The Second stair is something about Chinese geography. When you stare at a China’s topographic map, you can easily divide China’s territory into three parts. The first part contains the highest altitude regions, including Tibet and Qinghai province, that is the “First stair”. The east part is the lowest plain or hills. This is the “Third stair”. And the “Second stair” is the mid-altitude part between them. “Bashang” means “the top of the second stair”. That is to say, we were going to climb the second stair from the first stair. So we had to conquer the most horrible slope. The slopes that we rode previously were nothing compared with this.

Day 5 Datan-Yuershan-Caoyuan-Duolun, 77km

The grassland of Datan has the reputation of “No.1 Grassland” north of Peking”. The ride will be memerable in your life.

The road is in high quality and no many slopes. The road was long and straight without any other landscape but grass. What worse, we couldn’t find any shadows under the sunshine! Because there were no trees on the flat grassland. Sometimes we might feel the road was endless.

A lot of larks were singing in the grass. Duolun is a county of Inner Mongolia. We had a big Monglian meal that night, including milk tea, finger mutton, dried milk cake and Mongolian noodles. The hotel was fine and the night of “Second stair” was cool. That was the most comfortable night since we came out.

Day 6

Duolun-Yudaokou-Jixielinchang, 100km

Saihanba National Forest Park. We got up early and had some Mogolian breakfast in the restaurant we patronized yesterday. Today’s journey was the easiest. We arrived at Yudaokou soon. After we had our lunch, turned north, we begain to march to Saihanba.

Riding to Saihanba was enjoyable. The road was in good quality and we still rode before the wind. What’s more, not like the way to Duolun, there were lot of flowers, butterflies, cows instead of pure grass. The hight is about 1500 here, not very high, but it not easy for us to come here from Beijing which is only tens of meters above the sea level.

We lived in a inn called Red Moon Inn, which provided imitative Mongolian yurts. “Extreme joy begets sorrow”, as the saying goes. We can do now was just sitting down peacefully to enjoy Bashang barbecue. Ok, that’s the end of today.

Day 7

Jixielinchang-Ulanbutong-General Pond-Ulanbutong-Jixielinchang, 20km×2
