![]() We are starting to meet many cyclists traveling along the 312 highway. Yesterday, we met the most ambitious cyclist thus far....a gentlemen by the name of Dennis who resides in America and started cycling from Madrid, Spain and 8000 km later he finds himself in China outside the city of Nanyang. When Dennis initially saw us he started screaming "English, English" and his wishes were answered as I approached him and told him I was from Canada. All he could say was "thank god, thank god" because he hasn't had a conversation with someone in weeks! After we went our separate ways I was inspired by his amazing journey which gave us a power surge to ride hard and with passion. It is amazing the people you encounter in this world and it seems everyone has a story...We bid you farewell Dennis and good luck cycling across the world! 我们开始在312国道上遇见很多骑行者。昨天就遇见了一位最为雄心勃勃的,他的名字是Dennis,住在美国,他从西班牙的马德里出发,骑行了8000公里来到了中国南阳城外。Dennis一看见我们就大喊“English,English”,我迎上去告诉他我来自加拿大。他所能说的只有“感谢上帝,感谢上帝!”,因为他有几个星期没有与人讲话了。当我们各自走上征途后,我被他的这个神奇旅程所激励,这也给了我们更多的力量和信心去继续我们的旅程。我们在这个世界上会遇见各种各样出色的人,每个人都有他自己的故事…再见,Dennis!祝你的环球之旅一路顺风! ![]() We are currently cycling through the mountains which I love. I enjoy the feeling of pushing hard up hills and enjoying the landscape on the descend. We have been cycling through small cities which are extremely poor and many places are being reconstructed to improve the overall living environment. The children in these communities are thrilled when we arrive...Everyone should have the privilege to play and we are trying our best to spread that message through the power of sport. 现在我们开始在山地骑行了,这个我喜欢。我喜欢那种很吃力的爬上山头然后在下山时欣赏风景的感觉。我们经过了几个非常贫穷的小城市,那里很多地方在重建以改善他们的居住条件。这些社区的孩子在我们到达时欣喜若狂…每个人都有玩耍的权利,并且我们尽自己最大的努力去传播运动的力量和乐趣。 We are up early today and ready for the hills. A fellow colleague and friend Jack Chen self proclaimed himself as "king of the hills" during our Vietnam tour. Even though I didn't have the privilege of witnessing his grace punish hills due to injury, this my friend is your opportunity to show us what you are made of as we go through the mountain stages of our trip.
我们今天起得很早,准备好爬山了。在越南旅行时,我的一位同事兼好朋友Jack Chen自封他自己为“山地之王”。尽管我当时由于受伤没有亲眼目睹他征服大山,当我们开始山地骑行阶段时,我可以想象出这位朋友给我们展示出的风采了。 Thank you everyone for your support. Time to ride, I am hungry for those hills....jiayou! 感谢每一位朋友的支持!该骑车出发了,我迫不及待的要攀登那些高山了…加油!

I am loving hearing all about the trip. We just drove back to van from Calgary and I thought of you every time we passed cyclists on the road. There ate lots of people cycling on the number 1 .

We are now cycling through the mountains which in some ways reminds me of home.... We have officially escaped the Shanghai heat and today the weather was perfect. Did you check out Stampede? Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts.

Did you manage to find an adult bike with training wheels? Be careful a lot of crazy drivers out there.
