Dengbacun restaurant

We have just successfully completed the whole ride in the south of the Sichuan-Tibet line. Before going out, I consulted a large number of riders' riding logs and raiders' strategies, but I also found that, first, some changes have taken place in the road conditions and travel arrangements along the way, and second, most riders generally hitchhike more or less halfway, with little explanation, which leads to the actual situation encountered in the whole riding is different from the raiders' strategies and will encounter unexpected difficulties.

We have a spare car. Except the tools and spare parts, first-aid medicine, warm clothes, food and water that must be carried on the road, the rest items are put on the backup car to minimize the load. The Sichuan-Tibet line is not an "ascetic route" that must be thrifty, nor is it the patent of adventurers. It is a charming route that many riders of different types and ages can choose to test their spirit and will. As long as you have a strong will, good health and enough time, you can realize your dream.

Now the actual riding schedule is introduced in detail for the reference of cyclists who plan to ride the southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line, so as to get ready and successfully complete the whole ride.

1. Reference mileage 2 195KM (actual riding mileage, to Potala Palace in Lhasa).

Chengdu-140KM-Ya 'an-—89km—-Xingou Village-104km-Kangding County-74km-xinduqiao town-77km-Yajiang County-53km-19 class-

Second, the schedule and strategy (the daily itinerary is the actual mileage)

D 1 Chengdu-Ya 'an (147km)

From Yongfeng overpass to Ya 'an via Shuangliu, Xinjin, Qionglai and Mingshan. 77KM from Chengdu to Qionglai is basically a flat road; About 70 kilometers from Qionglai to Ya 'an is a hilly highway, and many sections are under construction. Due to the long distance of the day, pay attention to the average distribution of physical strength and don't consume too much physical strength.

The business hotels in Ya 'an are all good, and the bathroom facilities in Ya 'an hotels are very old.

D2 Yaan City-tianquan county Xingou Village 89 km

Ya 'an (590M)-Feixian Town (620m) 17km- Tian Quan (760)2 1km- Xingou Village (1450M)47KM. It is mainly uphill, and in some places, the slope is large, and the whole trip is quite tired.

Accommodation in Xingou Village is convenient and cheap, but the conditions are average. Drivers with spare cars can choose Linjiang Hotel with backyard parking lot.

D3 Xingou Village-Kangding County 103KM over Erlang Mountain (to the tunnel entrance, about 2200m above sea level).

Xingou village (1450m)- Erlangshan tunnel entrance (2200m) 19km- Luding (1340)3 1km- Kangding (2560M)53KM.

Go up the mountain from Xingou Village 19 km to Suidaokou of Erlang Mountain, and then go down to Luding. 24KM from Luding to Gasigou is mainly gentle slope, and the last 25KM is continuous steep slope. The whole trip is quite tiring, so it's better to leave before 8 am.

There are many accommodations in Kangding, and you can choose according to your own situation.

D4 Kangding rest

It is necessary to take a day off in Kangding, from where you really enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The first three days' journey was not easy. You can adjust your physical and psychological state adaptively, adapt to the plateau climate in advance, and make appropriate supplements to your belongings. If you don't rest in Kangding, in most cases, you will have a strong discomfort with riding on the plateau in the next few days.

D5 Kangding County-xinduqiao town (77km) crosses Zheduo Mountain (4298m above sea level).

Kangding-Zheduotang Village (3300m) 16km- Zheduoshan Pass (4298M)20KM-xinduqiao (3460M)43KM.

Starting from Kangding, we began to climb a steep uphill, from about 5 kilometers to Zheduo Pass, and built it all the way. Motor vehicles are released in one direction within a limited time, and the roads are rugged, which consumes more energy than usual. The road from Zheduo Mountain Pass to xinduqiao is 43 kilometers long, rotten and dusty, quite bumpy and the speed is not fast. Therefore, it is not advisable to stay in Zheduo Mountain Pass for a long time.

There are many accommodations in xinduqiao.

D6 xinduqiao town-Yajiang County (77km) crosses Gorchs Mountain (elevation 4412m).

Xinduqiao-Gaoersi Pass (44 12m)22k m- Yajiang (2600M)55KM.

It is about 20 kilometers from xinduqiao to the pass of Gaoersi Mountain, and the slope is steep, which is still difficult. After 2 kilometers, the downhill slope is a plateau undulating road with an altitude of more than 4000 meters. Because of lack of oxygen, it is still crowded, so don't worry. Continue riding for about 6 kilometers until you reach the so-called second level, which is continuous downhill. The first10km is steep downhill, followed by continuous downhill. The road is also good, but you need to pay attention to control the speed and rhythm, safety first, all the way down Yajiang.

There are many accommodation conditions in Yajiang. You can choose hotels or family hotels.

D7 Yajiang County-1 19 Highway Class (53KM) crosses Scissors Bend Mountain (4659m above sea level).

Yajiang-Jianshewan Pass (4659m) 32km- 1 19 class (4260M)2 1KM.

Yajiang to Jianziwan Pass is about 2000M above sea level, and most sections are continuous steep slopes, which is quite difficult. You need to prepare enough food and drinking water (there is basically no suitable supply point in the middle), and you should also pay attention to maintaining the best rhythm when going uphill, especially willpower. You need to get up early in the morning, and you'd better leave before 7: 30. It is not advisable to stay long after reaching the pass. The distance behind is about 2 1 km, which is a plateau undulating road with an altitude of more than 4000 meters. It is not easy, so we should hurry.

1 19 train is relatively small. It is hidden in a corner of the road. You can't see it until you get close. Don't miss it. Looking for the famous monitor Lu here, people are very enthusiastic. If there are many riders, you must obey the arrangement of squad leader Lu. Generally speaking, they are ordinary shops, and the conditions are relatively difficult. Men and women live together, and eating is no problem. The altitude here is about 4200 meters, and most people will have altitude sickness to some extent. Don't smoke, drink or eat too much. It's cold in the morning and evening, so be careful not to catch a cold. Don't drink too much water at night. The toilet is outside the road across the street, which is really inconvenient.

If you have a spare car, you can buy some fresh vegetables in Yajiang and bring them to class.

D8 1 19 Highway Grade-Litang County (89KM) passes through Kazila Mountain (47 18 m above sea level) and five unknown hills with the front and back heights exceeding 4200m.

1 19-Kazilashan Pass (47 18m)30k m- Kazilashan Radar Station 5KM-Litang (40 14M)54KM.

Today's trip is more than 4000 meters above sea level. This is a very difficult day, so we must be prepared mentally and physically. From 1 19, it is a few kilometers uphill, and then it has been a rough road. To reach Litang, you have to climb at least five hills of 4200-4700 meters. You must not give up before you reach Litang. Willpower plays a decisive role. All-asphalt pavement, this section of the road is above 4000 meters above sea level.

D9 Litang County-Batang County (176KM) crosses Haizi Mountain (elevation 46 16m).

Litang-at the foot of Haizi Mountain (about 4300M)74KM-Haizi Mountain Pass (4685m)1km-Yidun Station (3630m) 18km- Zola Township 10KM-

Be sure to get up early in the morning and leave before seven o'clock! Litang to Haizishan is riding on Litang Plateau, with an average elevation of about 4000 meters, with ups and downs. The general trend is to slow down. The first 74 kilometers are relatively easy, so try to ride as fast as possible. After seeing the sign of Haizishan,12km began to go uphill obviously, with a great slope and almost no buffer, and it was more difficult to meet the headwind.

Go down to the pass and go to two Haizi. You can take pictures as a souvenir, but don't stay long. There is still a long way to go, so you must avoid walking at night. The downhill slope is steep, so it is necessary to control the speed and rhythm and pay attention to safety. On the way, you have to go through Yidun Station in Zola Township, six tunnels, and finally reach Batang. After the Haizi Mountain Pass, it has been downhill until it is about 20 kilometers away from Batang, which is relatively fast. The 20km to Batang is a rolling section, which takes about 1.5 hours. There are many flying stones in the section about 45 kilometers from Cuola Township to Batang, so pay attention to safety.

Many raiders suggest that today's trip is divided into two days, with a stopover in Zola town. We don't think this is the best plan. Everyone's physical and psychological abilities have basically adapted to riding on the plateau. As long as they are not injured, they can reach Batang in one day. The key is to start early and avoid walking at night. The accommodation conditions in Zola township are very poor, which is not conducive to rest. We regret that several elderly riders we met on the road were all in the village of Zola.

Accommodation in Batang is very convenient and you can choose flexibly.

D 10 Batang County-Mangkang Rirong Hot Spring in Tibet (47km)

Batang-Zhubalong (2500m) 35km-Hot Spring Villa (2640m)12km.

You can sleep in today and recover. Batang to Zhubalong in Sichuan has been slowly descending along the Jinsha River, paved with asphalt. Cross the middle boundary of Jinsha River Bridge and enter Tibet. Both ends of the bridge are guarded by armed police, and it is forbidden to take pictures. They are guarded by Sichuan Armed Police and Tibet Armed Police respectively, and one in Tibet needs an ID card. After crossing the Jinsha River Bridge, you enter Haitonggou, which is a super bad road and a famous landslide area. We rode at 12 km for nearly 2 hours.

After crossing the Jinsha River Bridge for about 12km, you can see a hot spring villa at the lower right of the road, which is Rirong Hot Spring. The boss is from Qionglai, Sichuan, and the accommodation conditions are good. Natural hot springs (the faucet in the bathroom is also a natural hot spring! )。 The altitude here is not high, so you can soak in hot springs comfortably without worrying about altitude sickness.

D 1 1 Rirong Hot Spring-Mangkang County (6 1 km) crosses Mount Bala (elevation 4 170 m).

Rirong Hot Spring-Class 4 (3170m) 24km-Haitong Military Station (3,560m)10km-Zongbala Mountain (4170m)18km-Mangkang (3870m).

The reason why the trip from Batang to Mangkang is divided into two days is because most of the roads from Jinsha River Bridge to Zongbalashan Pass are rotten roads, and uphill or uphill is quite laborious and time-consuming. Even if most riders leave before 7: 00 in the morning, they may not be able to catch up with Mangkang before dark, and the armed police guarding the bridge on this section of the road have repeatedly reminded them not to travel at night (unsafe). Therefore, the best plan of Batang-Mangkang schedule is to divide it into two days and live in hot springs halfway. Tibetan families or restaurants near Haitong Military Station can also be used as intermediate accommodation, but the conditions are much worse.

There are many places to stay in Mangkang County, so you can choose freely.

D 12 Mangkang County-Rumei Town (50km) crosses Lawu Mountain (4383m above sea level).

Mangkang-Lawu Pass (4383m)13km-Zhuka (2640m) 37km.

The pass from Mangkang to Lawu Mountain is mostly asphalt pavement, which is steep. The road to Juka is basically downhill, but it is also a bit steep. This is a road full of dirt, so the rear wheel should be careful to drift in the corner. A few kilometers into the Lancang River, there is no vegetation on the mountain, the temperature is obviously high, and the road is relatively dangerous.

The only place suitable for accommodation in Zhuka is Hot Springs Villa (there are no hot springs in fact), just to the right of Zhuka Bridge, and the conditions of other inns are relatively poor.

D 13 Rumei Town-Baden Village (40km) crosses Jueba Mountain (elevation 3918m).

Zhuka-Jiaoba Pass (3918m) 25km-Baden Village (3470)15km.

The whole journey is a dirt road. After breakfast, I left the hot spring villa and began to climb the mountain. At first, it was about 7 kilometers along the Lancang River, and it was difficult to start Panshan Road outside the river. The uphill highway is about12km, all of which are on the back and forth plate on the side of Jueba Mountain, and it reaches the pass about 5km after crossing the mountain.

On the way to Baden village, you may meet many Tibetan children. Some of them are very polite, while others may insist on something. There is only one Meishan Sichuan restaurant in Badeng village, which is run by Sichuanese.

Many raiders suggest that you can stay at Xurong Station. Our backup car first arrived at Xurong Station and was told that it could not stay at a higher level now. The main reason is that some riders made a lot of false and negative publicity on the Internet with their personal feelings after staying at Xurong Station in the past. Now all stations on the Sichuan-Tibet line do not receive riders. We immediately adjusted our plans and decided to live in Dunbar village. Other riders from all over the world who were together that day also adjusted their itinerary with us.

D 14 Baden Village-Zuogong County (73km) crosses Dongdashan Mountain (5008m above sea level).

Baden Village-Xurong Station (4100m)14km-Dongdashanyakou (5008m) 26km-Zuogong (3750m) 33km.

Today's climbing distance is about 40 kilometers, and the slope is not big. However, because the 26-kilometer section from Dongdashanyakou is riding at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 meters, the feeling of lack of oxygen will become more and more obvious. Pay attention to control the breathing rhythm. In case of headwind or sudden change of weather, it will obviously increase the difficulty and should not be underestimated. You should be prepared. It's a little steep about 3 or 4 kilometers from the mountain pass.

Dongdashan is the second highest peak of the southern Sichuan-Tibet line. The weather is unpredictable and the temperature is relatively low. It is windy almost every afternoon, and it often rains and snows. Prepare emergency clothes (or raincoats) and enough food and water. This time, several strong young people who traveled with us all had severe altitude sickness on the way.

The road down Dongdashan Mountain is not easy, it is a gravel road. There is often thick residual soil around the corner. When the vehicle speed is fast, the rear wheels tend to slip. We must pay attention to speed control to ensure safety. The road about 0/0 km away from Zuogong/Kloc is asphalt pavement, and then it slides all the way to Zuogong (with several small slopes in the middle).

Zuogong accommodation is very convenient.

D 15 Zuogong County-Bangda Village (1 10KM)

Zuogong-Tiantuo Town (40 10m)64km- Bangda (4 120M)46KM.

Asphalt road, the road condition is better. The road is also ups and downs, and the general trend is rising.

Help the university to provide accommodation convenience.

D 16 Bangda Village-basu county (99 km) crosses Mount Yela (elevation 46 18 m).

Bangda-Yela Pass (46 18m) 13km- Nujiang Bridge (2740M)48KM-Basu (3250M)47KM.

When you leave Bangda, you will go up the mountain until you reach the mountain pass and asphalt pavement. Downhill 3 kilometers, asphalt road ends, rotten road begins, and eluvial soil is very thick. After the car passes by, it is dusty all over the sky and the corner is easy to slip. It is necessary to control the speed to ensure safety. After going down the mountain for a period of time, you can see the very famous "Nujiang 72 Bend" natural barrier. This section of the road is not generally rotten, with steep slopes, a lot of gravel on the road surface, heavy dust and unevenness. Watch out for a flat tire and go all the way down to the famous Nujiang Bridge.

Crossing the Nujiang Bridge is about 12km to Hotan Village, which is the stone road and washboard road. There are many flying rocks, which need careful observation. After that, all the way to Basu County was paved with asphalt roads, which were uneven.

Accommodation in basu county is convenient.

D 17 basu county-Ranwu Town (92km)

Basu-Zhongsha Village (4120m) 53km-Anjiula Pass (4618m) (G 318-3857)14km-Ranwu (3920m) (G 366437)

They are all asphalt roads. The roads are easy to walk and the slope is relatively gentle. The downhill slope is a bit steep. It is a few kilometers narrow near Ranwu Town, and there are flying stones. But now a protective corridor has been built, which is relatively safe, but it should be able to pass quickly in the rainy season. In front of Anjula Mountain, the snowy mountain stretches all the way, and its pass is not obvious. There is a Haizi nearby, which is a landmark attraction near the pass.

Ranwu is a very beautiful place, with beautiful lakes and mountains and snow-capped mountains. From Ranwu to Lancha Highway, you can walk along Ranwu Lake, or you can go to see the ancient glacier or Renlongba Glacier.

Accommodation here is convenient, but the food is quite expensive. We chose the cabin by the lake of Ping An Hotel, which was quite comfortable.

D 18 rest and play 1 day

You can consult the owner of the accommodation, contact the local off-road vehicle and choose Laigu Glacier, Laigu Village and Renlongba Glacier. There are also some cyclists who choose to ride bicycles to play near Ranwu Lake.

D 19 Ranwu-Bomi (132km)

Ranwu-Zhongba (3,330m) 53km-Songzong (3,050m) 36km-Bomi (2,730m) 43km.

The coolest day since I entered Tibet, most of the roads are downhill, and many snow-capped mountains and glaciers can be seen along the way. The scenery is good. From G3 18-3898 km to 3932 km, there is a 30 km-long dirt road, which is quite tortuous, and the rest are all asphalt roads, which go slowly along the Palong Zangbo River.

D20 bomi county-Tongmai Town (93km)

Bomi-Guxiang (2650m) 35km-Tongmai (2070m) 58km.

From Bomi to Pailong, there are some small uphill roads along the Palong Zangbo River. It has always been an asphalt road leading to Tongmai, and both sides of the road are virgin forests. The scenery is very good. 35 kilometers outside Bomi is a famous debris flow area. Some roads are full of water all the year round, and there are stones everywhere.

We live in the "Lvyou Inn" run by Sichuanese, a quadrangle-style inn. The female boss, who is friendly and diligent, has a clean room, which is convenient for washing clothes and cooling clothes. I can't go to the Lulang Hotel. The room is expensive, but there is no bathroom.

D22 Tongmai Town-Lulang Town (76km)

Tongmai-Pailong (2 120m) 17km- Dongjiu (2530M)26KM-Lulang (3,400m) (4157) 33km.

1km passes through Tongmai and enters the rotten road in Tongmai natural ravine, with a length of about 27KM. It goes upstream along the Palong Zangbo River, which is quite BT. In some places, such as off-road roads, the slope is very steep. This section of the road is a famous landslide area, which rains all the year round and rarely collapses when it doesn't rain. Passing through Tongmai Pailong Natural Insurance, we have been slowing down after Pailong, and after about 5 kilometers, it is asphalt road until Lulang Town.

Lulang is beautiful and smells like the Swiss Alps. You can take more pictures in the morning and evening when the light is good. The stone pot chicken there is very famous, the so-called native chicken. The average price is 200 yuan per pot, which is more expensive than that in tibetan chicken, but we think it is far less qualified than the stewed chicken with ginkgo (we think it is not native chicken, and the breast is white and rough). Chicken essence is too heavy, so it can be divided into killing now and not killing now (we don't believe it). There are more accommodations here, and the Lulang Hotel is not bad.

D23 Lulang Town-Bayi Town (72KM) crosses Sejila Mountain (elevation 45 15m).

Lulang-Sejila Mountain Pass (4600 m) 24 km-Linzhi County (30 10 m) 30 km-Bayi Town (3000m) 18 km.

Soon after crossing Lulang, it began to climb steep uphill until it reached the pass of Sejila Mountain. The weather on the mountain is changeable, so you should bring clothes and pants. The scenery along the way is better. If you are lucky, you can see Nange Baba volcano. The downhill slope from Yakou to Linzhi County is quite steep, and most corners are very urgent, so we must pay attention to safety. Linzhi to Bayi town has been to the upper reaches of Yangni River, and it is relatively flat and beautiful along the way.

Bayi is the second largest city in Tibet. It seems that there are many Han people and they are more prosperous. There is no problem with accommodation.

D24 Bayi Town-Jiangda County, Ministry of Industry (133KM)

Bayi Town-Ministry of Industry Jiangda (3430M) 133KM.

Today's journey has been gentle and undulating, and the overall trend is the rise of sea level. By now, I should have completely adapted to the southern part of the Sichuan-Tibet line, and this trip has become easier.

Jiangda County, Ministry of Industry is not big, but Shenghu Hotel and Huaneng Rehabilitation Hotel are not bad.

D25 Jiangda County-Songduo Village, Ministry of Industry (103KM)

Ministry of Industry Jiangda County-Jinda Town (3670m)43km—-Songduo Village (4300M)60KM.

Uphill is the main road, and the first half rises slowly along the Yangni River. There are many restaurants run by Sichuanese in Songduo. The main customers are second-hand tourist buses and go on road trip cars. The conditions are not bad, but the price is quite expensive. However, the accommodation conditions here are not good, they are the simplest, single beds or bunk beds, and the sanitary conditions are poor. Several people sleep in a room regardless of gender, and there is no special bathroom. Most people can't wash their faces and brush their teeth. Local restaurants or small supermarkets basically provide this service.

There is a "Songduo Hot Spring" 2 kilometers away from Songduo Village, which is pure natural and 5 yuan is alone. You can soak in hot springs here, which is quite comfortable, but the altitude of Songduo has reached 4300 meters. You should pay attention to the hot springs for no more than 5 minutes, and the bathing time for no more than 10 minutes. You shouldn't move and breathe too much. If you don't feel well, you must come up immediately, sit aside and adjust your breathing to avoid altitude sickness.

D26 Songduo Village-Potala Palace in Lhasa (188KM)

Songduo Village-Milla Shanyakou (50 13m)28km- Riduo (4380M)25KM-Mozhugongka (3820M)58KM-Dazi (3700M)47KM-Potala Palace in Lhasa (3650m).

Part of the merit divides the last day into two days, and we prove that this is completely unnecessary with practical actions. The final journey will be inexplicable anxiety, or use the final sprint to comfort yourself!

It is best to get up at 5 am and leave at 6 am. Full asphalt pavement, the first 20 kilometers is slow and effortless, and the steep slope begins to climb at G 3 18-4479 kilometers. Although the altitude is 5000 meters, I have basically adapted to riding on the plateau, which is not as difficult as I thought. Today's journey is the longest day. Don't stay in the maid's mouth for too long. Leave the time to Lhasa. Most sections from Yakou to Lhasa are downhill or gentle slopes, with ups and downs, but it is not as easy as expected. Food and water need to be replenished in time. Fortunately, this road has been able to buy half.

Seeing the Lhasa River Bridge and Potala Palace in the distance, everyone will have their own feelings and ideas. Be sure to take pictures in front of Potala Palace Square!

At this moment, the cycling trip on the southern line of Sichuan and Tibet is over, so treat yourself well. ...

Three. any other business

1, about bicycle preparation

The southern line of Sichuan-Tibet has high mountains and long roads, many rotten roads, many bends and steep slopes, and mountain bikes are the most suitable.

1.95 inch tires are the most suitable. /kloc-tires under 0/.75 inch have little resistance, but they are easy to be punctured by gravel, and narrow tires account for the vast majority (I won the title of fetal god six times and were punctured by gravel five times). In addition, the stability of 1.95 inch tire on bad roads is better than that of narrow tires. Be sure to prepare enough tire repair clothes, which are both light and practical. When many people set out, one person should take a spare tire.

You must check the vehicle in a professional garage before you leave. If the bicycle has been used for a long time, or if you buy a used car, you'd better replace the whole line and chain; Be sure to check and debug the rim line. Along the way, we have seen several cases in which we had to hitchhike or give up hitchhiking on the Sichuan-Tibet line because of simple faults such as broken steel wire, broken tire, broken chain and broken car line.

In Litang, Mangkang, Bayi and Gongbujiangka, we all saw bicycle shops or car repair stalls.

2. About personal equipment

The weather in Gaohaibo area is changeable, sometimes with extreme climate, which is hard to prevent. Be sure to bring underwear, high-top hiking shoes or hiking shoes (if it is simple, police raincoats and rain pants must be matched), and other things, such as sweaters and sweatshirts, should also be properly matched. The ever-changing headscarf is the best tool for sun protection and dust prevention. Bring more.

When the accommodation conditions are poor, bring an extra towel on the pillow to avoid psychological effects affecting sleep. You can also turn your coat upside down and cover it on the pillow.

Riding on the Sichuan-Tibet line, it is generally difficult to meet a suitable restaurant halfway. If you have a spare car, you can buy a 1-2 thermos bottle and prepare boiled water and instant rice (the instant rice on our road was given by the priest), which is quite convenient, hygienic, delicious and timely. We only have lunch for four out of 26 days.

Step 3 have a safe trip

Don't worry about safety. We didn't feel unsafe along the way, but we need to pay attention to the following points:

On the way from Batang County to Mangkang County, some Tibetan children are used to asking for things on their own initiative, even impolitely. Under normal circumstances, you can ignore them, just say "Tashi Dele" and hurry over without correction.

Avoid walking at night. If you can't avoid it, you must form a team, and the headlights and taillights must be matched.

The speed of bad roads and steep slopes must be controlled well, and it is impossible to be fast for a while. You must slow down in the corner, or an accident may be a big accident!

If you are too sleepy, you would rather sleep on the side of the road than ride a bike. We also know that it is dangerous to doze off by bike. On the day we arrived in Lhasa, we saw our cyclist fall badly on the downhill because he dozed off.

Don't panic if you get bitten by a dog. Just speed up on the downhill road. On the way uphill, you can get off and pass the car in front. Don't scare the dog on purpose. Generally, dogs will leave voluntarily. Never hit the dog, or the master will not let you go.

4. About physical and psychological preparation

People who don't insist on exercising at ordinary times, or those who haven't exercised specifically for at least 2 months before departure, had better think twice, otherwise it will be difficult to ride the whole journey. If you are determined to ride the Sichuan-Tibet line, you must exercise as much as possible on this trip. There are many ambitious people in the initial section of the Sichuan-Tibet line, but few people can really ride the whole distance without hitchhiking.

We met many riders along the way, especially young riders. Most of them have hitchhiked halfway or often. There are four reasons: first, the willpower is not strong, in case of uphill difficulties, I want to take a ride; The second kind is that physical exercise and physical preparation are insufficient at ordinary times or for this trip, but the mind is willing but can't do it; The third is injury; Fourth, the pre-trip plan is insufficient, and the actual situation on the way is too different from the expectation, so it is impossible to adapt and give up the effort.

There are two kinds of cyclists who can persist in the whole process: first, middle-aged or elderly cyclists, most of whom have clear goals, strong will and full preparation; Second, people who can persist in physical exercise or outdoor exercise. Young people basically belong to this category, as do middle-aged and elderly riders.

If you decide to travel to the Sichuan-Tibet line, you must do physical exercise and insist on running and cycling at a certain intensity for at least 2 months. For my trip to Sichuan-Tibet line, I started running training of 3000-5000 meters twice a week five months in advance, and now I still insist on long-distance cycling every weekend 100 km, and fast cycling training for one hour every Wednesday night. Peer riders flying knives and peppers never stop doing too much exercise.

5. Lhasa bicycle consignment

There are many bicycle shops in Beijing Middle Road, which can pack and check bicycles for you, which is very convenient.
