July 23, 2002 6:45 am wake up and feel can also be the first the pain only slightly more than a few days ago much better. Only yesterday I bought rice pudding breakfast to eat, in order to add energy, drank up a 50% glucose. My baggage than they were both easy to finishing more than five minutes, I Gao Ding, and they want two for ten minutes. I knew the last few days have been due to poor appetite, physical strength is far below what had been started a few days, usually always out in the final, so today I set off first to avoid the old to wait. The beginning is also quite good, despite all uphill, but a good night of rest, physical recovery is better, so all the way up riding.
Some riding 20 to km Norikage first caught up with us riding a stone in a Highway Department, and so Min River. Trying to get to only see the distance to the side of a gradual shift to black dots. Boundless earth, at this time people will feel that this nature is so insignificant, I, FAN Jing, Min Jiang riding three persons, the plateau in the early morning walk through the sky clouds away from us is so near, and yet is so the impossible. Ranging from Min River front, I would ride on the first step, and that there are 19 kilometers away from the Tanggula pass when there is a downhill slope that is under the old address Tanggula depot, now long demolished, in addition, only the site of a couple of very Later, a large stove to tell the people here, once the world's highest elevation of the depot. Military depot opposite the site of a home there is the name of the dog family, see my car rushing at me Zhijiao, I do not afraid of it, here is downhill, very fast. I was proud of this one short downhill brought me joy, suddenly found in front of a few pit, dodge less, had to bite the bullet and ride the past, my camera bag at last, as I am concerned as to fly out, But the decline to the car in front, not being a car grind with - unfortunately, the silver lining! I rushed out very far before putting the car to stop, go back to pick up package Norikage washed down from the slope, but he was more lucky than I that there is nothing from his bag on a fly out. I went to open packages looked at the problem does not, the camera has not broke into a few do! Throw bag from my place until the exit is uphill of the Tanggula. I am struggling to slowly riding, one will be Min Jiang is also caught up with him, the two of us riding together on the ride of one kilometer not move, and had to move forward with the carts, we saw the distance, there is a blue dot the hillside on the slow slow moving, I know it was Norikage, he has the gall to ride move out - strange enough! In such a slope on the road is a climbing speed of the car than we usually do not walk much faster. In the cart before finally walked three kilometers to a place a little flat, G109 3328KM Road Monument Office, I opened yesterday, a few mouthfuls of Red Bull drinks Meng Guan, feeling, or in the white water tastes better than the pot more. As the appetite is not good, even if I am hungry do not want to eat bag of dry food, today only by a bottle of Red Bull to support another day. Min Jiang stayed for a while and then left, where I want to rest for a while, see the distant view of a good, open the camera bags, only to find out the camera lens cover not open, and no matter how twisted open, Made in It turned out just throwing downhill, and the lid is also embedded into the UV mirror went inside. I used the key charges carry with for a long time Jincai pry out, Made in UV mirror is also broken, I will screw down the UV microscope, but fortunately the lens is not broken, it seems my mirror this time it is the role of UV playing to the limit. The lens cap and UV mirrors were broken, and I had to put them on the stone tablet G109 3328KM Department, giving them a final shot of "funerary" and left. Poor my lens cap and UV microscopy from more than 5000 meters above sea level to stay on the Tanggula Mountain.
With the ups and downs of Fenghuoshan mouth, I would think that Tanggula is not as difficult to imagine riding, apart from five or six kilometers cart, the other way can ride to, it could be the bottle of Red Bull to play a role. I remember once in high school at night to drink a bottle of Red Bull, the results did not fall asleep at night with excitement.
Has finally come to pass, and Norikage has been put down in front of the car things began to take pictures, Min Jiang is also 10 minutes before I arrived. I have a good car without a break on the legislation rushed out cameras and began to take pictures. Who says that more than 5000 meters above sea level is a restricted area of human life? Tanggula pass on the home to a herdsman, see where we are taking pictures, it is curious to come take a look at our stuff, I will bring their own dry the raisins and beef distributed to children, Min Jiang and Norikage also gave them a lot. The slope is the sheep herders house, and because of language barriers, it is difficult, and he (she) to exchange, only the pictures taken Bale. I have seen many others on the Internet and their photo Tanggula mouth, even wearing the clothes and the clothes we see the same. Min Jiang and Norikage Yamaguchi taken out of the smoke, I can only envy copies, envy They no altitude sickness, and then They began to eat solid food at the pass, but I have only a few mouthfuls of Mengxi to alleviate altitude sickness in the air (good miserable呀). Yamaguchi vote, the two of them have to ride on today's Amdo County - out of Golmud town since the first one. Although I am not too reluctantly, but there is no way, who knows when to start the event of a disagreement the three of us began to use the voting method. Anyway, here is the highest point, and into the Amdo do what should have a few uphill? I am comforted himself. Really, in the Tanggula mouth every time before the downhill, I thought that it is not reluctant, preferring to slope along the way past, because in the absence of the highest point reached before the next slope is to be his ultimate climb again, while over the same can not be Tanggula pass, after that is downhill minds more at ease.
After a refreshing downhill after more than ten kilometers, to the "best in the world Road class" reputation of the world's highest road Road classes, I do not want to interrupt my rare photographs readily, should know that I will experience a short while I have the entire Qinghai-Tibet line and fear the most difficult course. From the Road, Ban did not take long downhill slope slow start small, if only the little uphill also down, this time there is wind, and the wind is not small, it can be deadly, and the start I can keep up with them both, did not take long Even the shadows are gone. I fell in behind a man slowly Dengzhe car, I said to myself always want to do the same today, in any case continue to drive much more than security. Imagine in front of the total uphill is the last uphill, but I am always disappointed, I know that certainly a dream come true, when only now I have not read the end of endurance test. The distant thunder getting closer, and at the last point I'll run out of strength, the mountain side of the cloud finally reached the top of the head of the. Suddenly, I am surrounded by dense hail will be, I put on a raincoat would be time for the shoe has been filled with ice. Almost at the moment heaven and earth have been shrouded in gray, lightning is also getting closer, I could see the lightning not far away is connected to Heaven and Earth "creak" straight ring, this time looking ahead only a very distant a tent to make people feel that the traces of civilization, I do not have nowhere to hide, and only one person alone in the ice-shrouded in the cart before the trip. Inner fear suddenly upon us, the brain began to cranky, do not altitude sickness did not wear down my Querang a lightning split me down, and this is the case I can only blame themselves worse luck! I have only got all the resignation, and the recent tent that I also have two kilometers away.
After I walked beside the tent, I then changed my mind, in front of a turning, from concept through to determine the summit of the hill that I really feel that the. My cart in the past, it really started going downhill in! I will raincoat and hat truss, but also ride on the vehicle. Slope is very steep, brakes, after contact with water is not too much spirit, and pinch before and after the gates are still in the end very soon. Wind is also great, wearing raincoats Fortunately point, the hands with gloves still feel very biting. My hand quickly frozen. fast, I feel like a leaf floated here and there in the valley, the rapid decline around the swing. in the gradient at its base again to catch up with them both, are there waiting for me then.
After about 40 km road is still good, even if the uphill seems like someone is pushing back. I am wondering I have also clearly tired of the fast ride fixed, and for a while but become strong and together.
At 9 stores has finally reached over Amdo County ---- from Golmud town since the first one. Fortunately, there is cell phone signal here, and hastened to family and friends报平安. Night to live in many hotels, the conditions can be.
Dinner is Norikage please, and I also feel hungry, eat a lot. Since the Tanggula pass, my mood changed a lot, much better appetite.
Back to accommodation, Min Jiang and Norikage make tomorrow Riding Nagqu, I simply suspect that is not a mistake. Amdo to Nagqu 138 km, to say today, just to ride 134 kilometers, not physical strength to recover. We are here to Goods the road, not to race with others, why be so anxious? I do not understand. Min Jiang said that he had asked in May of this year alone, riding into the possession of a friend, and his friends heard of our day from the Tanggula military depot Amdo Riding think we are too crazy, and he had only to ride on the first Road courses, stay there, and can he find Amdo easy way to Nagqu, Min Jiang day we ride on this projection should be no problem Nagqu -- --- fallacy!!! Who knows what tomorrow's wind will be like? downwind slightly uphill Tanzania are a little easier, but against the wind, even at a small downhill must have firmly placed. Tanggula but we passed after the Take the wind-based, and tomorrow is destined to be very hard, that is, we will also be grueling ride on Nagqu, but They are determined to ride on Nagqu, I only go when you talk it, maybe tomorrow I will be alone a class in a live Road.
