At the departure ceremony…

Posted on July 1, 2016

It’s 6:00 a.m. in Chengdu (all over China, actually, as they keep the same time zone across the country), and I’m waiting for the breakfast buffet to open.  In the meantime, a few more China photos…

With Dominic Yu, General Manager of Zongshen’s Export Division, at yesterday’s departure ceremony.   Having US participation on this ride is a big deal.    Joe and I are ambassadors.

With Master Sergeant Zuo, one of my fellow riders, at the banner signing yesterday. The Chinese on big on signing banners, jackets, helmets, and other things. It's a cool custom. I think we've signed three or four banners already, and we've only been on the road one day!

Somewhere on the road to Chengdu

I can't tell you how many scenes like this I've seen in just a day on the road. The ones I missed were even better. More photo opportunities, I guess. Grand fun.

Joe Gresh got a shot with 4 people on a motorcycle. He told me we are having a contest to see who can get a shot with the most people on a motorcycle. I'm going to let him go at it for a while, and then I'll pull out my photo with 6 people on a bike in Colombia!

Time for breakfast, folks, and then we’re off to see the pandas!
