还能活着看到你们的帖子,真好!今天是至今为止最难的一天,总共骑行120公里,前面从海拔600米上升到800多米,一直上坡
到約98公里的為止。骑了12多天,体力非常累。
Team mate helped me to post this in Chinese is doing something else, so I will need to continue writing in Eng。
Day-12, We were on No. 5 highway, had never know so much hills from the own of Merrit to Hope. Right at the door of our motel, we started to climb steep hills. Achim (by translation), a shy 2nd year university student, wanted to travel-on-wheels from Calgary to San Francisco in 90 days with tide budget. Biking alone is kind of loney, he stayed with us two nights. He enjoyed our company as much as he enjoyed Chinese food and the included bed and breadfest. We splited our route shortly leaving Merrit, Achim for the famous Kettle Valley Trail in Kelowna. This trail wasnot in Hua's plan and we do not have enought time for it anyway. After saying goodby to Achim, we continue to climb hills. These hills are long and steep circling around mountains. We started cycling on the route from about 10:30 am to 8:30 pm, only the last two hours we biked down hills. I think today is the toughest climbing not taking hot weather in consideration. I salute to 3 heros in our team, Hearo Hua, Charlie and Golden Ear, as they padled hard up hills after hills in silent, in speed and perserverance.
Aslo, day-11, cycled about 133 km in thunder storms, hails, in rains, in winds travelling more 30km/hour against our direction along 5a (a scenic route, highly recommend it) from clearwater to merrit. We stopped by a short while to avoid riding in winds, but day night was running short, so we must continue cycling in such horriable weather condition. Hero Hua, Charlie and Golden Ear and Achim are all my hero in Day-11.
Cycling long distance like this, we must experience its process to own what's like in taking challenges beyond reach in both body and mind. Everyday, every route, every weather condition,managingstability in traffics are challenges meet without predictdions. At the end of the day, a cold drink of coca cola and reading your blog are the world to us:))
You guys are awesome, thanks your energy!! Can't wait to be at home, and can't wait to see you all.
-good nite, stole the computer again for posting.
活着真好,为你骄傲! |
