Midnight departure on sleeper bus from Kunming, 5:30am arrival in Xiaguan, bus transfer, 7am departure. 10am arrival in Lijiang. Found Chay's bike (awesome aussie let us borrow his bike) in storage nice and dusty. Changed the plug, coil, and oil. Good to go. We were a bit worried about the bike after hearing some of its 5 year histroy, 3 years as a rental bike. Despite some broken plastic and several cosmetic parts attached with duct tape and wire, the bike is solid. Bought a nobby tire and went riding double in the nearby countryside. Got rained on and soaked. Total KM 40ish. Not sure if the odometer is working properly.
The other bike was delayed arriving in Lijiang. Hopefully it will tomorrow then after buying rain gear and an oil change we are off.
