Today we were riding through many industrial areas which was chaotic in regards to traffic and road conditions. Camping today was out of the question, we required a shower after our 4x4 expedition. 今天我们穿越了很多工业区,这里车水马龙。完成今天的计划没有问题,在进行了4*4的骑行后,我们需要洗个澡了。 I am starting to question who is the teacher and who is the student...Ho Young has been correcting and teaching me Chinese on a daily basis. On average I get lit up with 20' "tingbudongs" per day which means I hear you but I don't understand. We started having daily quizzes to review his teachings. 我开始怀疑我们两人谁是老师谁是学生了。小柳同学开始教我说中国话。平均下来我每天要说20来次“听不懂”,这意味着我虽然听到他在讲话,却听不懂。我们每天还做一些小测试以复习他教我的东西。 Today we didn't go through too many communities; however, we went through a very remote area close to the city of Dantu to drop off some gear and promote our vision. Sport and play represents many attributes that transfer to other facets our life, which in turn makes us better people. It is our goal that people can experience personal growth through sport and play. It has been a pleasure to share this gift with the people we have met thus far. Next stop Hefei! 今天我们不需要穿越太多的社区。然而我们到了一个偏僻的地方,在靠近“当涂”市的地方分发了一些东西。体育运动能锻炼人的品质,可以让我们变得更加完美。我们这次骑行中国之旅的目的就是让人们可以享受体育锻炼的乐趣。我们很高兴能和我们遇见的这些人们共享这些礼物。 下一站:合肥! We have met so many great Mamas along the way. We wish she could have come with us, she made the best Nuro Lamian. 我们遇见了好几个平凡而伟大的大妈,我们希望她们能加入我们的行列,她给我们做了很好吃的卤肉拉面。 Wild Bill served us some nice cold drinks outside of Dantu.
在“当涂”市外,Bill给我们提供了非常好的冷饮。

Great to see that the spirit of the ride is not diminishing yet. I think this was an important day to test your mettle as a team. Now that the initial energy has had a chance to dissipate, it is great to see that the core strength of the 2 team members remains resolute. You will need this camaraderie to see you through the low points ahead. Remember to use each other's strength at those times to lift each other up. The smiling faces in the photos are amazing and speak loudly about the success of the message you guys are trying to spread.
