Blue bicycle in a green field.... It's taken a while to get this one off the ground since returning from the paint shop, but I'm pleased the Colossi XCR is re-born with a fresh lease of life. The pictures should speak for themselves, but more than anything I'm really pleased with the bar code polish on brushed graphic came off. It's safe to say this is pretty unique bike.<br />

Kaiping, land of the original ChinEuro tower, is a destination that has been on the weekend away radar for some months, but sometimes it takes the spirit of a Monkey and a long CNY bank holiday to make things good. As a slightly offbeat Guangdong tourist destination, there is a fair amount on the web about how to catch this ferry or that coach, but not too much on how to travel there unsupported on two wheels. But with a little planning, a little luck and some strava heat maps scoured by our resident Swede, Mr Akesson, the stage was set for the by now traditional CNY epic ride.<br />

Alarm clocks were set nice and early for the first ferry out of Hong Kong to Doumen, where the adventures would begin. That is if we could get past the first hurdle of persuading the Ferry company that it wasn't an issue for Chinese immigration if we didn't get off at the stop we'd bought our ticket for- Jiangmen. Nothing our resident smooth talking resident Cantonese cohert Kelvin couldn't handle.<br />

With bikes lashed down and our VIP class cabin rocking more side to side than off the wall, I soon started to feel a little green. Not wanting to lose my stomach contents before such a big ride, the typhoon shelter smooth waters of Macau couldn't come soon enough!<br />

And so at 10.30am we were ready to roll, with the conversation shifting over from Camelbak contents to how many kms were feasible before sunset. 180? 140? Shortcuts? Bailouts?<br />

Rolling along with the sun on our backs and the wind in our sails we soon escaped the industry and enjoyed the traffic free roads of Chinese New Year. It wasn't long till we were rocking another boat, but this time more <i>sanpan </i>style across the water.<br />

Fuelled by snacks and sunshine, lunch beckoned for more sustenance. We'd lost a bit of time with the various boats and food stopping, but were still feeling good about the afternoon ahead. Mr Aron was on good navigational form and the backpacks we'd all procrastinated over were proving to be no problemo.<br />

Progress hit a bit of a brickwall once Mr Leeper hit a rock and flatted his tire, followed by a demonstration in how not to fix a flat. Impromptu roadside graffiti temples have their uses.<br />

With the kilometres rolling over and the big blue skies above, we prayed a collective prayer to the weather Gods for more riding like this. It's such a rarity to enjoy cool dry sunny surroundings when you slog through a summer of such intense heat and humidity.<br />

One of the great things about China trips, such as these, is the reaction we get from locals. I don't speak too much Cantonese / Mandarin, but once this lady's phone rang, I could tell she went straight in there with "I'm sitting at the shop with my crew and a bunch of gwuilo just arrived".<br />

Any lack of enthusism was soon tempered by our surprise hashtag gentrification coffee stop at 130km. Woah- we must be nearing civilisation! Lady with baby promised we were only 12.5km from our bed for the night.<br />

After the sun had set we hit some strava heatmaps of a more surprising kind. Road riding / Pave / Cyclocross / MTB- don't worry too much about what bike- just ride.<br />

It was properly dark by the time we hit the bustling bright lights of Chikan. We each dressed in pretty much whatever the contents of our Camelbak had to offer, with a resultant Hipster meets Hiker meets Criminal aesthetic.<br />

Sunday was another day with a new set of issues. First was how to find Aron after he lost himself leading us to the historic Zili village. We agreed to meet at the highest tower after 3/4 of us took the unusual navigational step of following a signpost!<br />

Zili was quite something in these conditions, especially since we beat the coach parties and arrived before the gates had even opened, cruising straight through the ticket barriers to enjoy these ancient towers. I had my Architect Urbanist moment, ruminating on how the Western castle model doesn't usually translate into village communities, which is what makes these villages a bit special. they're kind of a Tuscan hill town meets Beijing hutong. Its hard to imagine quite what life would have been like for these merchants pre Cultural Revolution.<br />

Next up was the challenge of actually making our 2pm ferry. 30kph average is not so easy on gravel 'green ways' (bike paths). It wasn't looking great for quite a while until we traded the picturesque views for some more solid kilometre munching roads, a steady paceline and minimal stops meant we covered next 100kms or so in very good time, just about giving us a break to meet the Chinese Andreas Kloden, who joined us for a few KM until his EPO ran dry.<br />

One last Leeper puncture 2km from the finish was not going to ruin our day and Kelvin cracked open the CO2 canister to keep us on track. We made the ferry and entertained ourselves supping coffee from Aron's DIY brazilian / colombian mix. Feet held high, the weekend a success and my first biking trip away since the arrival of my aspiring mechanic Junior. Win.<br />

Having the option to bail out of early morning rides because I'll be doing my training on the commute in is also a time saver in the grand scheme of things- add up those 20 minutes here, 1hr diversions home there, and you'll be surprised how much extra training you've done without even noticing.</span><br />

I've commuted on everything from a fixed gear track to a TT bike, from a full suspension mountain bike to a carbon road bike. Obviously the route you are taking and the security available will inform what you ride.</span><br />

So, what I tend to do is pack one drawstring nylon bag within my main rucksack that contains a work shirt, trousers and undies. When I get to work and get dressed this becomes my dirty washing bag for the clothes I rode in on. When I leave work and get changed into riding gear I do the same thing with my second <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="eac73362-aefc-43ad-8edd-697c88b0387a" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="c244be2a-6877-4bf2-845c-010be6575698" grcontextid="draw string:0"><gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c496f2f9-444e-4ef8-8560-d8d902f0673d" id="219e6e9d-8e53-4e0b-818d-9bfbfcdd6b43"><gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="39925e2d-f1e9-4b19-b6db-1ef4f52342c6" id="b7228344-7c28-47c2-82cc-511e6768e660">draw string</gs></gs></span> bag that contains my riding home gear. I know 3 changes of clothes sounds a bit excessive, but in the summer it's pretty much essential. In cooler temperatures, or if I'm in a rush I may just ride in office gear minus the shirt with the trousers rolled up (yes, I do wear an undershirt). In the winter merino is also a top tip for base layers / riding tops, as it doesn't get smelly if you leave it damp in a bag for the day. One thing I cannot stand, however, is riding home in the same Lycra shorts from the morning....<br />The last tip <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="b31ccd1e-2346-455d-8e56-f3cd76b7b637" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="be733ca1-38c6-4b58-9304-5ec4d1a20123" grcontextid="is always keep:0"><gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1834452a-9c6b-4780-9ed5-44d205c7be66" id="0e90847f-b45d-4f9b-9ba2-e304bcc8b620">is always keep</gs></span> a pair of shoes under your desk so you don't have to carry these.

Amazing to still find a new road 7 years on, even if it is through a cemetery with another guest for the ride- a 1m long snake (no photo I'm afraid)...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00193905653815341847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701403249720455082.post-85415630884558781712015-09-04T17:49:00.000+08:002015-09-04T17:49:52.875+08:00Touring Tibet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

driver of dangerous driving, after he ran down and kill a cyclist having
crossed a double white line while knowing that he was unable to see clearly. She found him guilty of the lesser charge of
careless driving, for which he was fined $4500.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>Shockingly,
Magistrate Ng then went on to blame the victim, Colin Robertson, a highly experienced
cyclist and road user who competed internationally, saying that “the deceased’s
unwise decision of cycling on that road ... led to the misfortune.” She also misrepresented the advice in the
Road Users’ Code to “wear bright or .. fluorescent clothing” as a constraint on
the cyclist and apparently deemed the van driver, Lam Wing-sang, less guilty of
the charges of dangerous driving and/or careless driving because of the clothes
that Mr Robertson was or wasn’t wearing.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>Mr
Robertson was showing clear and legally compliant lights when he was struck by
Lam, and the court heard no evidence that was not driving his bike perfectly
safely and normally.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>Lam
had a lengthy record of poor and illegal driving, including one count of
careless driving and 10 instances when he was caught breaking the speed limit.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>In
view of these entirely unacceptable comments by Magistrate Ng, the Hong Kong Cycling
Alliance calls on the Department of Justice to urgently review this manifestly
inadequate decision and to consider what action might be necessary to ensure
that a) an appropriate punishment is given to defendant, b) the magistrate in
question is assessed for her suitability for the post, and c) all participants
in judiciary and the police are made aware of their duty to treat all road
users equally and fairly, and not allow prejudice and ignorance against people riding
bicycles to influence them. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

In Edinburgh they'd call this 'The Haar'. Here in HK it's likely just a surreal low level humidity smog. And yes, that is a bus sticking out of the Peninsula roof. Clearly not tall enough to pop out the other side a la ICC.</div>
