Cycling in Sichuan and Tibet (IV)

If you like someone, please take her to 3 18-

If you hate someone, let him ride Sichuan-Tibet-

On the second day of riding, I arrived in Xingou Town. People who are exhausted to the limit are busy with what they want to do and fall asleep.

Sleep till dawn, and as soon as you get up, your teammates yell: My ass hurts.

Riding a bike for a long time and sitting on it all day is also ruining your ass and your prostate!

Therefore, professional cycling pants will have a cushion to prevent too much friction between the ass and the seat. Moreover, outdoor sports have two necessary artifacts: TT and sanitary napkins-

Laughing and laughing, everyone made a bet to see who would buy these two artifacts first.

After washing, the enthusiastic Master Ke has prepared breakfast. Prepare water and dry food after meals, check the car-

Because there was too much mud yesterday, everyone washed the car with spring water before going to bed. In order to prevent rust and facilitate riding, chain oil should be coated before starting today.

When oiling, I don't know who said that all places with shafts should be oiled.

The brain-dead novice (I) unconsciously consumed half a bottle of oil, and the mouth of Qinglong next to him became O-shaped: "Boy, just put the oil on the chain, so you will regret it."

Qinglong was proved right afterwards. There is too much oil, and the dust is adsorbed on it, so it will be very difficult to pedal.

These are all tuition fees paid by riding blindly in Sichuan and Tibet!

Everything is ready and ready to go.

Although the road under my feet is also being repaired, it is not easy to walk; But compared with yesterday, we are all satisfied.

Isn't that what life is all about? Everything is comparative: everything, 10,000 kinds of feelings and hundreds of millions of emotions all exist in a coordinate system and are relative.

Why are people unhappy and why are young people easily confused? How can we be happier, how can we be unaffected by the outside world, and be neither humble nor supercilious-

Haha, that's a bit far. Let's go on cycling.

As soon as we go out, it is a gentle uphill. About ten kilometers later, we saw the faint light lying on the roadside stone. The old rock in Northeast China is "sharp-eyed and quick-mouthed"-

The faint answer caused us to exclaim for a while: eldest brother, we only had breakfast for an hour! What are you, the digestive system?

Brother Duan hit the nail on the head: Light is "Wolf Warriors among wolves"!

Although today we are going to cross the first mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet line-Erlang Mountain with an altitude of 2 170 meters. But because we only went to Luding today, the whole journey was only 55 kilometers, and the uphill was only 22 kilometers, so everyone rode happily and leisurely. See the beautiful scenery, take photos and tell jokes along the way.

This is not, an artificial waterfall in Lu Yu, one by one "hillbilly" immediately surrounded like a beautiful woman, taking photos and videos, which made me (Xian) excited (De)! Pat the left and look at the right until you catch up vaguely.

?

The gentle slope continued to a canteen, where several riders from other teams who started first chatted and rested.

How can you chat without a lively super brother! I saw him fly out of the car at once, but after a few words, he went straight to the cliff behind the shop! While everyone was thinking about what he was going to do, a policeman came out of the shop and stopped him-

Brother Chao covered his crotch and said intermittently, we can't help but hiss when we know the truth: uncle policeman, this man urinates everywhere, hurry up!

The police ignored us and asked Brother Chao to come to us directly. The serious expression just now has also turned into a little "obscene" smile-

When he said this, the police uncle's eyes were envious; Even scratched his head embarrassedly. Haha, he is shy.

How dare the police not listen? Everybody line up at once and let him take command. That technology is really worse than directing traffic ~ ~

"From here on, the slope behind is very steep. Come on! " After taking pictures, the police uncle kindly reminded me.

Hearing this, Lao Yan couldn't sit still: "Is the slope steep? Boss, do you have any beer? Give me a bottle! "

Northeast men are domineering, they are about to enter the plateau, and they have to drink!

"Drink? I'm really worried that you won't get up when you climb the hill for a while, and then you will fall down. " Duan Ge, who is also a Northeastern, couldn't help teasing, which made everyone laugh.

Time waits for no one, so I won't say much. After frolicking, I will drink a bottle of Le Hu, and then continue on my way.

This time, I don't know whether it is Le Hu's role or his adaptation to cycling. He is the third person to reach Erlangshan Tunnel, which is known as "the longest highway tunnel in China".

Haha, it seems that I have also practiced!

On the way to climb the mountain, two kilometers away from the tunnel entrance, I saw a row of houses with red roofs in the distance, and that was the classroom! We will be there when we get there.

However, just like in A Dream of Red Mansions, "when it's false, it's true, and when it's false, there's nowhere to do", and here's "when it's far away, it's near"-the house with the red roof is clearly close at hand, five minutes have passed, ten minutes have passed, and twenty minutes have passed ... but it's still close at hand, and no one is there.

This is because mountain roads are generally winding roads, winding around and decreasing the slope with distance.

This is the way to climb a mountain. Sometimes after walking three or five kilometers, you look down and say, hey, wasn't the labor and capital just 200 meters below half an hour ago? !

Walking much does not mean climbing high; But you know, you're rising, and that's enough.

Just like when you are confused, tired and empty, you feel that there is no motivation to do anything, and it is meaningless to do anything, because you can't see any good results, because you don't have any sense of accomplishment.

At this time, you should know that you are moving forward, but you haven't reached that place yet. That's enough. If you can, remember to find your own rhythm; After you find the rhythm, you can enjoy the process, not just the short-term joy after your goal is achieved.

When I reached the tunnel entrance, it began to rain again. I pushed the car under the eaves in a hurry, then bought a bucket of instant noodles in the classroom and started lunch with the ham prepared in the morning.

After lunch, the remaining seven teammates are still missing. I called to inquire and learned that Xiao Qiang's hand was injured. Brother Chao rode slowly with him, about seven or eight kilometers away from us.

At this time, it is raining harder and harder, which makes them quite worried.

Half an hour later, Xiao Fei met a kind-hearted man, gave him a hook and loop and changed it for him. He finally stopped worrying all the time, fearing that the chain would suddenly break when climbing the mountain.

During this time, riders from other teams came up slowly. The conversation between two people next to me aroused my interest-

When I arrived in Luding, I realized that this great god was a super brother, and he had gone to save the injured Xiao Qiang.

Insert a paragraph-

At noon 12: 30, "soaking chicken" came up. Everyone had no time to greet each other, so they put on their raincoats and shoe covers and entered the tunnel!

After the 4176m tunnel ended, everyone could not help cursing: Shit!

It's raining on the other side of the tunnel, but the sun is smiling here.

After crossing the tunnel, I climbed two kilometers to the highest point of the expressway. Waiting for us is a continuous downhill slope of nearly 30 kilometers.

Everyone opens the front fork (damping) at the highest point and checks the brakes; By the way, I waited for Xiao Qiang, who teased the roadside dog, and there was a faint feeling of "seeing the slope".

Standing on the side of the road, you can see a panoramic view of the plateau-

When Xiao Qiang fainted, my first long downhill will begin! I kept whispering all the way: safety first, safety first.

The first continuous downhill nearly 30 kilometers, lack of experience. Never dare to exceed 35 kilometers per hour, and the result turns out to be the end ~

Just when I was worried about not finding my teammates, I suddenly heard someone calling me.

Ha! Those nine children really ate mulberries on the roadside-

On the way down the mountain, many tourists gathered in two observation decks. The word "casting soul" was written on a stone in one place, which was quite impressive.

Excuse me, brother Duan, what is the downhill speed? Tell me: "I come down slowly, about 40 kilometers on average."

40 kilometers per hour bike is very slow ... novice can't accept it for a while, please let me take a break.

Continue downhill and arrive at the red city-Luding around 3 pm. I met an outdoor shop when I went into town. Originally, the team wanted to buy magic buttons and tires, but there were none in the store, so I had to give up.

However, Lao Yan officially turned into "Hon Hai Er" here (bought a full red cycling suit).

Later, the "bad wolves" first found a restaurant for lunch, and then went to Luding Bridge to have a look.

Brother Chao, keep looking for a place to set up a tent.
