On the road to Chengdu!

Yep, the rain in Chongqing stopped, the bikes were ready, and after a formal departure ceremony at the Zongshen plant (I actually had to give a speech), we were on the road.   Woohoo!  I’m riding an RX3 across China!

We did 240 miles today through some of the roughest traffic I’ve ever seen, but the scenery in rural China from Chongqing to Chengdu was awesome.  It’s nearly 11:00 p.m. here as I write this, so I’m just going to post a few photos and call it a night…

Riding an RX3 across the Yangtze River!

Another magnificent Chinese bridge!

A great roadside lunch…these fellows do know how to put on a party

One of the Chinese riders on an RX3 brought his own tool kit

That’s it for now.  Time for some shuteye!
