Riding for two companies-that's a memory of youth (1)

After graduation, I gradually fell in love with traveling, and I have been to many places in a few years. If you ask me where is the best place, you may need to think about it. The mountains in Aden, the water in Jiuzhai, the sea in Xiamen, the desert in Ningxia, or the grassland in Hulunbeier. ...

But if you ask me which trip is the most special, I will not hesitate to tell you: 2065438+2002 1 1 month, riding Erlian's journey, it was a youthful memory. ...

Riding a horse is a difficult test Professional travelers usually make full preparations before starting riding, including professional equipment, enough money and enough time ... For me, riding a horse is an exercise of will. If you buy a set of more than 10 thousand equipment, eat well and sleep well all the way, and don't have to rush about for a planned route, then riding seems to lose its proper taste ... poor students who have no money don't know much about riding. It is because of this unprofessionalism that such riding is more meaningful.

"Seventy-seven Days" was an instant hit, and I ran to the cinema at the first time, hoping to regain my riding memory through this film, and then I couldn't wait to finish the original work of "Open Field in the North" in one breath, admiring the author's courage and courage, which prompted the birth of this travel book.

When I was sorting out this travel note, my eyes were inadvertently wet several times.

The pain of crossing Badaling almost parted ways. ...

Go down the mountain at night and quickly experience the extremely exciting "flying fairy outside the sky" ...

Through 60 kilometers of continuous uphill and downhill, more than 20 kilometers of "off-road" ...

Walking against the wind on the seemingly gentle grassland, I really want to die. ...

Mid-Autumn Festival, sitting on the floor in front of the gas station, steamed bread is mustard tuber. ...

Chased by the heavy rain, laughing under the shelter ...

Sleeping in the middle of the night, my knees hurt so much that I can't turn over, and my ass is too worn to sit still. ...

Spent the night in a tent, shivering with cold in the middle of the night until I woke up. ...

but ...

Without these, I can't see the most beautiful starry sky. That night, I didn't know what "starry sky" was, and I understood why there were countless stars in the sky!

Without these, we can't exactly understand the scene of "white clouds floating in the blue sky and running under the horse"!

Without these, you won't feel the strange temper of the grassland. At that time, Wan Li was clear, with lightning and thunder. At this moment, the thunderstorm is on the left and the lightning is on the right!

Without these, you won't feel that "the beginning of life is naturally good", even a bowl of plain noodles without any seasoning, extremely simple accommodation, or a handful of broad beans, a pot of fruit, and the feeling of giving charcoal in the snow will always make people feel warm!

Without these, you won't understand how ecstatic you are when you are desperate!

I am afraid that there will never be such an opportunity, and I will never have the courage to embark on the same path. ...

My favorite sentence of that year: we are old if we are not crazy. The cost of 350 yuan per person is 670 kilometers in five and a half days. ...

It's been five years. I'm not old, but I'm no longer young. I am glad that I chose that year, and I also thank my peers.

During the summer vacation, Zhou Zhijie rode back to his hometown in Yunnan for 33 days. After he came back from vacation, he bragged about his experiences all the way, which made us both curious and yearning. It's almost the eleventh holiday, but it sounds exciting. Let's get started!

First of all, we should study where to go and calculate the time. ***7 days a day, come back by car one day, you can ride for 6 days, with an average of one day 120 km, which is about 6-700 km. This distance is just from Beijing to the nearest border-Erenhot, bordering outer Mongolia, just in time for the special node of National Day. It is also quite meaningful and appropriate to visit the border. Then the destination is fixed.

Then prepare the equipment. When you go to school, money is still very important, so you can save it. So, except for a suit of clothes, all the equipment, including cars, moistureproof mats, riding helmets, gloves, tents and cameras, were borrowed ... Originally, we planned to camp, so we borrowed a tent and carried it all the way, without a rear bracket. In retrospect, carrying a tent was a failure.

Everything is ready! Get up at 6: 30 in the morning, have breakfast in the canteen, pack your bags, take a group photo, and go!

I don't know if I was too excited or didn't sleep well. I didn't feel very good at first, my heart was pounding and I was panting badly. Out of the school gate, southbound, straight to Badaling.

The journey to Badaling is not easy. Basically, I didn't encounter a downhill. The whole road seems to be rising all the time. The engine doesn't work. When I met uphill, I felt like kneeling, and I was dumped all the way by the other three partners. I tried my best to chase after them, but I couldn't find them. The first half-day is only the most desperate half-day. Theoretically, the physical condition should be the best at the beginning, but how to ride it is difficult. After less than half a day, I felt desperate.

Just when I couldn't catch up, I met a family. The hostess was very enthusiastic and invited me to sit there for a while. After a good rest, I continued riding. The first bottle of water in the whole journey is said to be underground spring water, which is very sweet. It is also from this time that I met all kinds of good people along the way, and there will be more and more introductions later.

By the time we get to Badaling, they should have stopped there and waited for me. I don't want to hold them back, and I don't want to give up this opportunity to take a bus, so I broke up, and they resolutely disagreed. Thanks to the persistence of the partners, the next wonderful thing is coming.

I met many cyclists along the way. They all greeted each other, then encouraged each other, and passed quickly. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon when we passed Badaling, and Zhou Zhijie broke up with us.

According to the original plan, we only walked more than 60 kilometers, and we have to walk at least 40 kilometers this day. Fortunately, after going down the mountain, the roadbed was originally a long flat road leading straight to the Hebei border, surrounded by cornfields. I stopped to pick up two sticks, but it was useless. It is too old, and there is no fire.

It was a smooth journey. We rode several stops along the bus stop and stopped to have a rest until we crossed the Hebei border.

It's getting dark In order to complete the expected daily journey, we must move on. It's another long mountain road, and a shocking journey has been staged along the way!

I'm really eager to see the next town. Walking around the mountain when going down the mountain, you can see the little lights in the town not far away. Looking at the "close at hand" light, I soared all the way down the mountain. In a trance, a tunnel appeared in front of me. The light in front of the tunnel was dazzling, so I rode to a bright place. Because it is backlight, I can't see the road under my feet at all, and I don't pay attention to the road barrier ahead-a roadblock more than half a meter high! I heard someone shouting: Attention! But it was too late. I rushed straight up, subconsciously turned the handlebar to the left, and the whole person flew out sideways! My head hit the ground heavily, and in an instant, my face felt numb. The first reaction is: it's over! !

When my little friend came from behind, he looked at me, but it was nothing. I don't have blood all over my face, just a little dust. Numbness is caused by impact. However, there are several cracks in the helmet. Thanks to the helmet, I saved my life. I wore knee pads on my leg, but I had an old injury on my knee, and the wound was knocked open again, bleeding, but it was okay.

Although a little scared, but on second thought, this kind of riding is complete, what a pity not to fall! This is a lesson, and then I will never dare to go downhill at full speed at night.

Hugh stopped for a while and went on his way. Before long, he went to Guanting Town and met a restaurant. The purpose of this trip is asceticism. Although several people were starving, everyone only ordered a bowl of noodles and added a steamed bread. After dinner, the boss said that he would provide accommodation. 10 yuan stayed alone after repeated bargaining (although they were all carrying tents, no one wanted to sleep on the street unless absolutely necessary! )。 I want a triple room, one bed for each person, free hot water and nothing else. This is a one-person 10 yuan hotel, but it is enough for us, and most of the accommodation in the next few days will be like this. Because I was so tired, I basically slept soundly when I touched the pillow, but my injured leg couldn't bend, and it was particularly uncomfortable every time I turned over.

The first day, a scary flying fairy! But you are lucky to survive!

I didn't sleep too long because of the tight schedule. I get up at half past five in the morning and leave at six. The first part of the morning always goes smoothly. I rode for more than two hours to Huailai County, found a stall on the roadside for breakfast, added a bowl of beef noodles and a big sesame seed cake, and then bought nine big steamed buns to take with me on the road. Later, these nine big steamed buns were even lunch. ...

Continue to set out, there are many jujube trees on the roadside, so I stopped to pick some with me. Jujube is not big, but it is sweet. Later, I thought I should choose more. After these jujube trees, we are waiting for an almost collapsed road, which I call the "evil route".

It is called sin route because the whole section has been going uphill and downhill, turning a slope. Looking forward, a big downhill is connected with another big uphill, which is exactly the same as the sine function diagram in mathematics. It makes me feel scared when I see a downhill and look forward to a smooth road.

The first few slopes made a fortune and barely managed to push them up. Later, when you encounter an uphill slope, you push it down directly, push it to the top of the slope, ride downhill at a high speed, climb halfway up the mountain by the inertia of downhill, and then push it down. In this way, we rode for a long time until the afternoon, and finally passed this "evil route". When we met a gas station, we started lunch-steamed bread and mustard tuber. We turned steamed bread and pickled mustard tuber YY into all kinds of delicious food, and YY became our Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. It was very hard, so I chewed a steamed bread alone and continued on my way.

Nothing special happened along the way. It was nothing more than despair when going uphill, physical strength reaching the limit, sun's fatigue and hunger. Every three or four o'clock, I feel like I'm going to die, and there is no comforting scenery to enjoy by the roadside. I just occasionally pass by a big truck convoy, braving black smoke and blowing sand. We really acted as vacuum cleaners on the main road several times. When I came back at night, I found Jingjing had become a "word eyebrow".

I rode late until another town appeared. Many restaurants are closed because of the festival. I finally found one. They also plan to have a reunion dinner. Seeing several of us carrying big bags and riding equipment, we chatted with us with great interest. During the festival, we bargained with our boss for a discount. The boss said yes, no problem. Gave us a cold dish and three corn cobs, which was quite refreshing. I was supposed to bring canned food for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After dinner, I asked the way. The next town ahead is about 20 kilometers. In order to catch up with the time, we unanimously decided to move on. I like riding a bike at night. After dinner, I am full of energy and coolness. With the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, our efficiency is particularly high. After more than an hour, we arrived at our next destination. I especially want to eat popsicles all the way because of the sultry and irritable day. The first thing I did when I arrived in this city was to buy some popsicles and then find a hotel. The environment of this hotel is good, but as long as we have a bed. In the evening, we discussed the route. In fact, we all know that it is a little difficult to reach the destination at this speed, because according to the original plan, we should arrive in Jining on the third day, but now it is 0/40 km away from Jining/KLOC, and tomorrow is a mountain road close to one day. The result of the discussion is that if we can walk 120 km tomorrow, we will continue to run to Erlian, otherwise we will be diverted directly to Hohhot.

The next day, others eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival, and we eat steamed bread on holidays! There is also the evil route!

In the morning, due to the national highway, I walked about 20 kilometers of "cross-country road", with ups and downs, but I also like this road, because I can't lift the speed, so I'm not tired and don't have to be dumped, hehehehehe. After crossing this cross-country road, I went up the mountain and went straight to Inner Mongolia. At first, it was ok. I like the scenery here, so riding a horse is a pleasure.

However, after crossing the border of Inner Mongolia, we started a long slope that was more difficult to walk than a mountain road. The slope is not big, but we feel very tired when going uphill, and we don't have the ultimate pleasure when going downhill. After riding for a long time, we were almost desperate before lunch. If we go on at this rate, we will definitely not meet our expectations, but it's just time for lunch, and there is a turning point! The so-called "mountains and heavy waters have no way to doubt, and there is another village in the dark!" hahaha

While we were having lunch, we chatted with the master on the side. It happened that they were running trucks and going to Erdos to pull coal. We happened to pass by Jining and asked the master if he could give us a ride. Time is really tight. In the afternoon, when the master left, he called another master, and the other party agreed without saying anything. In this way, we took a big truck and went straight to Jining. The truck compartment looks much bigger than the outside, and there is a lot of rest space behind the driving position, because running a big truck is basically two masters, one driving and one resting, and then shifting shifts. I got in the car first, got my luggage and left behind. Two hours' rest is really cool!

After they got off the bus, they still felt inferior. I think it's good. I got a riding experience to enrich this riding experience.

After getting off the bus, I found Jingjing's car had a flat tire! I thought you two could balance your hearts this time ... because you brought a spare tire and a pump, you thought it could be done easily, but this pump didn't live up to expectations, and it broke after two uses! "SB Zhou Zhijie! Zhou Zhijie suffered! ! "We began to curse Zhou Zhijie to vent our anger.

They are repairing it, so I look everywhere for a place to repair it. After a big detour, I found a room to repair the big truck in a hidden corner. Luckily, he has a pump. At first, I was still thinking, after all, it will take hundreds of meters to get it. Can the master agree, or should I press a certificate? But the master agreed without saying anything. Again, there are so many good people.
