Hop on a motorcycle and ride across China. Ride into the West. Out of urban industrialization and into the borderlands. Over packed dirt and concrete to a land still breathing with its own lungs. Bring your friends. If you think you’re dreaming, pay more attention.

Day 16: Into Lanzhou, Gansu

Distance: 70 km
Expenses: gas 0rmb, hotel 43rmb
Events:
  • The road into the city was dissected and had been sacrificed in the creation of an expressway, thus the ride took longer than expected.
  • We were led through Lanzhou, the city with the worst traffic in China, to the dealership where they changed our oil and replaced some parts on D's bike. Tape was heavily used. (see picture)
  • The 'triad picture' was taken at the Lanzhou dealership.
  • The most impressive parts of the city seem to be its hot cycling chicks and the 'circus brothel.' As for that fine establishment, no one took part in its circus or brothel components.
