Another day of hard and torturing ride. We roll out with the 3 Chinese riders at 8.30am from the Baimazhai village which is 4 km from the main road S205.Once we hit the main road it was all the way up of 25km climbing to the top with altitude 3182m.Still on cemented road but somehow a little narrow on certain stretches,still the scenery is gorgeous with the mountain stream flowing down to the lower land. We arrived at the top 4.30pm and the chilling wind is quite unbearable,quickly we took on the descent with our windbreaker and hand glove on,still numbness gets on to our fingers, the extra 2 brakes that i installed really helps, the 3 Chinese riders being travelling light, speed down to Jiuzhaigouxian,but when we arrived is already dark,so we decided to find our own accommodation in Yinhekezhan銀河客棧 for 100 Rmb.
