From Beijing to Paris covered a total riding distance of almost 14 k km in 211 days,crossing border of 12 countries,bracing the desert sandstorm in north western China ,climbing the numerous mountains of over 3000 m in Krygyzstan,riding in a vast no man land in Kazakstan. From the mystery Russia to the charm of Turkey. And the eastern Europe of Bulgaria,Romania,Hungary Slovakia to the more western developed nations of Austria , Germany and France - All on a marvalles piece of steel engineering - The Recumbent!!!!!!!
Except for the normal wear and tear, it has been a joy to ride. Paris won't be my last desination,even though it was already an achievement. The next leg will be from Paris to London or P2L for another distance of 400 km. In reaching Paris, I would like to say a big T/Q to all my friends out there, for consistently given me your supports and comments in my blog. Each time I read them was like extra energy for me to keep on pedal , because I know you too ergarly following my progress. So, continue your supports for another 20 days or so, the show is not over yet. Stay tune to P2L......

On that habis chain, find the cheapest Shimano 9 spd LX type, HG 73 or KMC brand Made in Taiwan and should be cheaper. Both can be recycled onto road or MTBs later.

With yr fame and achievement, some bike shop shld give yr bike a total overhaul FOC! It can happen!
