MJ – Thanks MJ, it was a great ride. I had to stop and rest twice while trying to get over that final hill, it was a really steep climb! During my second rest I had entertained the idea of calling Cathy’s sister to pick me up in her car and drive me down I was so tired. Luckily, shortly after the second rest I peddled to a point on the hill where I could actually see the top (that alone gave me the motivation and second wind I needed). It had taken me up to Pingding, after that it was all flat or downhill from there to Caotun and Jhongsing.
