Friday 13th September Woke up early to give the bikes a good wash and a bit of an oil up, Keith replaced his rear tyre, I replaced the spare I had carried for over 5000 miles. With the bikes all relatively clean and oiled up, we went for breakfast, really good spread, best we have had since Kascher.
With the weather still overcast,but not raining, hit the road just after 09:00, with Linney guiding us out of Lanzhou, are first plan was to ride the express way, with a few closed roads along the way, we managed to find the slip road up to the express way, the plan was just to ride through and ignore the toll operators. All in formation we went for it, there was a bit of shouting but nothing serious so we just rode on, joining the express way and the climb out of the city, easy nothing could go wrong. We stayed on the expressway for about ten miles before the patrol car stopped us, not the police, had a little arm waving discussion with the guy, he did not know what to do with us, so we made his mind up, back tracked less than 1/4 mile then joined the minor road, In the end we were both happy,he got us off the expressway, we got out of the city far quicker.
Event though we were out of the city, it was still built up, with small towns virtually joining onto each other, it was like this for at least 30 miles out of the city. The towns were gradually replaced with green fields, filled with market garden produce, with stalls selling the vegetables from stalls and vehicles, looked like lemon grass or salsify, As we started climbing the you could see the fields in terraces up the mountain, just as I imaged China to be, it did look spectacular.
With Linney getting hungry, he asked if we would like to stop for lunch, both Keith & I said we are ok for how about in an hour, one massive climb and two hours later we finally stop for lunch, in a small cafe. With around 10 miles to go after lunch, it was just a gentle roll in to Dingxi, with are hotel strategy in place,we breezed into the first hotel we tried, all in all a good day in the saddle.
