Chinese Chicken Hill

Howdy there sports fans. We're coming to you live from Beilun, China and we're bringing you a fun filled expedition that included great uphill biking and backcountry cycling! This is Ken Li, our great friend, personal guide (just kidding), and PE teacher at AIAN!




This is the bride taking a quick water break. It was pretty steamy even though there wasn't a digital thermometer stamp on the photos. These are the hills to the west of where our school is and after the long climb up the hill dubbed, "Chinese Chicken Hill" by Robbie which also has a tunnel at its pinnacle followed by a wicked long down hill! I remember my speedometer reading 35 mph!




These gentleman were some smiley guys we ran into in the bush. They got a good kick out of us while they were on their way back for lunch. Most people we know, don't get a to experience as many authentic encounters. Robbie and Ken both have been really good about getting us out and teaching us how important it is to explore.




This was a result of Doug trying to jump a concrete aquifer. The front tire made it fine, the rear got a snakebite. OOPS! Ken had never fixed a flat before and insisted he do it. So far, so good. I haven't lost the rear tire! You're the man Xiong Di!
