August 21, 2008. 171 km, 26.74 km / h, 569 m drop. Each day we wake up soon, no rain, we use it, we want to exceed 200 km. The road is losing height we have gained in previous days, good wind, we have an incredible pace, we relay, we attached to the bike like no day but I feel the effort, I'm tired, I have trouble handing off but I have to do, work as a team, this allows us to achieve the highest average speed throughout the trip. We arrived at Datong, decided not to stop and go, is too large, a few km we find the road cut, fully lifted, the rain has created a mud impracticable, impossible to continue. We appreciate the situation, we could try on the highway, we approached but let us pass, InSite, we solutions, after a good protest in front of the "toll gate", accepted. We lost a lot of time we increased the pace, the track allows it, stopped for lunch in an area, but decided to continue the shortest stage, we must consult with the internet and largest city that remains to be seen. Big surprise, all internet facilities are closed, they say that for safety, after a while, the police see us, stop us and ask for documentation, success too concern about security. WRC stage dedicated to Conor, I have provided a wonderful bike, "Leon" take me to Beijing, thank you.
