Good sunny morning and we started an hour late at 9.00am after free breakfast at the Hotel.The hills continues ups & downs.From route x103 now we are back on G109,but the road seems to be narrower than the earlier G109.We actually is more worried to be hit by the trucks than the hills.At one stage of the climb and a sudden strong wing blowing directly to me,I lost my balance and I had my fist fall from the bike since leaving Beijing,fortunately nothing serious happened to me nor the bike Thank God! There was no town in between JungarQi to Dongsheng.Settled in a guesthouse for 10 rmb per person and Dongsheng is still some 80 km away.Tomorrow will be another day of hard riding.
