Yesterday we continued cycling towards Minfeng and we decided to setup camp 130 km away from Minfeng. The winds were challenging and our progress was slow...Tomorrow is a another day... 昨天我们继续向着民丰骑行,后来决定在离民丰130公里的地方安营扎寨。大风依然非常有挑战性,我们前进的很慢…明天又将是艰难的一天。 Today we cycled hard and we had 125 km to reach Niya. The scenery was beautiful and we were surrounded by sand and snow capped mountains. The weather was fantastic and it was a great day for riding... 今天骑得很辛苦,我们骑行了125公里来到民丰。这里风景太优美了,我们周围全是沙丘和群山。天气也很好,对于我们骑行来说是美好的一天… We had to hustle to Niya because we needed to pick up our final load of equipment; however, for some reason the equipment ended up in the north of Xinjiang 1200 km away...Decathlon is figuring out why it ended up at that location and they told us we should be receiving the order in a couple of days.... 我们不得不急急忙忙赶到民丰,因为我们需要补充最后一批装备了。但是不知道什么原因,这些装备却还在离我们1200公里远的新疆北部呢…迪卡侬正在找原因,他们告诉我们可能还需要等几天才能收到… Our next destination is Hetian and we are 300 km away. We need to take a shower we haven't washed in a few days...Our bodies are feeling great and our spirits are high! We are meeting lots of Rougorou people in this region and there is a slight language barrier, but we are loving the diversity we are exposed to in this part of China...Until next time!
我们下一个目的地是和田,还在300公里以外呢。我们需要洗个澡了,好几天没有洗了…我们身体感觉很棒,精神状态正佳。我们遇见了很多这里的当地人,我们之间有一些语言障碍,但是我们很喜欢中国的这块文化多元的地方。再见!

The desert is wonderful.I do know China is a multi culture place but I can image the differences are that much. The mask (don't know how to sat it) but it looks good on you but it's a little bit weird like you are a kidnapper. Just kidding, no offense. Hope wind can be smaller.Good luck.

I know it is a little mysterious, but it does serve a purpose...

Great to hear from you. I am sure you have been practicing a few motor head licks over the summer. We are almost at the end...I will give you a shout when I get back to Shanghai!
