After three weeks on the road, I finally made it to Shanghai. Towards the end of my trip, the biking became much easier. On the final leg, I made great time (five hours for 85 km), and could have gone much further. My legs no longer hurt, and I felt fine when I got off my bike. In order to avoid the problems I had on my first leg to Tianjin, I will have to train first next time I do a long distance trip like this.
Overall this was a valuable experience. I got to experience China at its most basic level, I got exercise every day, and I didn’t have to wait around for buses/trains all the time. Biking is the way to go on trip from now on!
