Last night rain had stop and the road is still wet as we rolled out at 7.30 morning,the weather is refreshing cooling, we are still on G213 road basically on the downhill following the fast flowing Min River泯江,shortly we arrived in Maoxian for our breakfast and witnessed the Erma tribes dance performance from outside.From Maoxian we noticed a long queue of traffic in direction of Wenchuan,but we were allowed to pass the police blockage,soon we came to the bypass unpaved road with many oncoming cars,and the traffic is moving very slowly stretching to a few kilometer long, but for us on bicycles,we could ride thru' very easily much to the envy of many drivers waiting in their cars.We arrived in Wenchuan at 3pm basically with no traffic from the back,checked into Anbang Binguan 安邦賓館for 100Rmb,and went for a walk around the town center. I did the service on my MSR due to the fuel nozzle was blocked by dirty fuel.
