As usual, first tell us about the pre-trip planning and preparation process.
My original plan was ready to receive the 2004 holidays, riding the completion of Shanghai to Beijing, and the way to see Mount Tai, Qufu, and Beijing 7,8 around the World Natural and Cultural Heritage, the planned almost entirely for the plain line, almost in advance To purchase GIANT weather vane as a car ride and another would like to simplify things to a waist belt can not feed more than 10 days prior to departure was informed that the Beijing SARS alert again, unit leaders and family persuaded me to give up, but unfortunately will only change the plan Chengdu to Lanzhou with backup plans. Owing to time constraints, while this line of terrain, weather, and the social conditions and complex than those of the former lot, really let my busy as preparations for a while, but fortunately usually exercise unabated, while I have been riding a new, blue, west, Yunnan intention, usually there are some data accumulation, but also want to preview this ride as a one-and warm-up exercises, it is essential to the timely completion of the necessary physical and mental preparation.
