100km? 3hours. Made it to Kang Ding(康定) today. Here to extend Casey's visa hopefully tomorrow. Tried to find a replacement speedometer cable with no luck. Looked at some fake old knives and tried to convince the shopkeeper of their fakeness. One denied it all the way... The other agreed but insisted the fakes were high quality replicas and the real ones were 10x more expensive. We should probably start recording time spent on repairs... Today two hours for a broken suspension bolt, chain guide and a bolt stripped out by the last 'mechanic'. Today might have been the first day that we weren't rained on. Net two Chinese guys riding from Cheng Du to Ihasa. Both had their 150cc bikes over loaded. One actually had a big backpack, enormous fanny pack, huge saddle bags, a big hard case and an oozing plastic wrapped blob of essential items riding on the back of the seat were a passenger might sit.
