Day 9 April 18 Another day in Datong

Done a complete cleaning and lubrication on my recumbent
Happy times with the wildcamel cycling club members
BBQ and beer
with club president Mr Woo
Another club members Mr Jie

Due to the warm hospitality of the Datong wildcamel members ,we decided to stay here for another day.A day of shopping and cleaning of the dirty bike and lubrication on the chain.So far I am very please with this recumbent and that ways i must always make her clean and looks smart. This is also a day of over spending. I bought a new air inflated sleeping matt for 210 rmb and a wind breaker long pant for 150 rmb. We also shared to hold a BBQ in return for their kindness. Tomorrow we will be leaving this place and they wanted to ride with us to say good-bye. I hope one day they will come visit Malaysia and i will have the opportunity to do the same or better.

Allo Eddy Meng,

Your mission impossible started well with lots of nice & friendly mates, pleasant travelling news, and of course the great looking " char poh "

Please try to collect more news & photos of the locals of their living conditions especially their daily way of life now in China, tell us more not only the urban but also the rural lifestyles as well. We will be surprise that lots has been changed, perhaps.

Great news so far, keep it up....
Cheers.....brater....

Hey Meng, great pictures and people you've met! I hope that you'll have even more experiences like that!
Concerning your new equipment: I just got a windstopper pair of trousers, too, and tested them in a 70km night ride last night. They are perfect!
I got two new sponsors for my tour, local shops whose owners I know and am very happy about that! So now all my equipment is together and the tour can begin in a few days!!!!! Jippieeee! :-) Cya

Hi,great to know that you will start your p2b ride soon. WE had been hit by very strong head/side wind. I think you are smart to start from Paris to Beijing so you will have a tailwind .All the best.
