The plan to start riding at 7 was delay by the morning rain and also the traffic jamming up the road, we had to wheel our bikes between the cars and buses for about 1 km to be able to ride again. The 3 Chinese riders were ahead of us ,me and hifi Ming keeping close to each other as we plan to only go according to our pace being fully loaded. After about 11km,hifi Ming have a puncture on his rear tire,we stop at a restaurant to fix the puncture, and also have our 2nd breakfast.The rain stop and it feel so much better to continue our ride,we came across a mountain pass which have 9 turns before a very flat land called Gan Sea甘海子. Again very fast we felt hungry that we started our own cooking of instant mee and hot nescafe. The accommodation we tried asking was 200 Rmb,out of our budget,so we bought some supplies to look for campsite. We spotted a running stream along the road,and walked a little was a big grassland with Holiday Inn besides.Today is a short distance but because our clothes were a bit wet and feeling very cold,we needed to rest early.( Later we had to pack up and look for another spot due to security reason as this grassland is frequented by wild cow as told by the security.)
