Very cold morning with dizzling rain,temp at 3-4 degree C ,put on 4 layers of upper clothings ,2 layers of long bottoms,socks and hand grooves,still my feet like icy cold due to riding recumbent the feet is up all the times.The climb continues but were less steep than earlier days.We saw more greenery and flowers for the 1st time. We crossed the Yellow river at Namwan after lunch. The bridge is under repaired and there was a signboard " NO CROSSING" but the trucks don't seem to care.If a heavy truck can cross with no problem,I am sure ours bikes won't cause the bridge to fall ,right? Two policemen in their uniform flag me down,not to summon but offering mineral waters for us after knowing our grand mission.Disappointed at reaching Jungar Qi could not find any internet from the 3 star Hotel that we are paying for 120rmb.
