Poor Uncle's Travels Chapter 50: A Necessary Journey to Life on the Wonderful Sichuan-Tibet Line

Article 50: the wonderful Sichuan-Tibet line is a journey that life must ride.

? A friend asked me in private: Why "the wonderful Sichuan-Tibet line is a must-ride journey in life"?

Friends who have read the story of Uncle B&B know that I used to be a cycling inn. By receiving riders, I realized that the Sichuan-Tibet line is not just riding, but more exciting and wonderful. So, I made up my mind to ride once in my lifetime.

The Sichuan-Tibet line starts in Chengdu and ends in Lhasa. It is divided into two lines: the southern line and the northern line. The northern line, namely National Highway 3 17, is vast and sparsely populated, with primitive ecology and difficult riding. The southern line, namely National Highway 3 18, has a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers, with unlimited scenery, perfect service facilities and relatively easy riding. Therefore, the Sichuan-Tibet line generally refers to the southern line of 3 18.

Riding 3 18 is "relatively easy", but it is actually extremely difficult.

Chengdu to Batang is the first stage, which industry experts call "forbearance". The terrain of this section is gradually rising, and the altitude is rising to more than 4000 meters. "Endure" means not only to endure knee pain and butt pain, but also to prevent high reflexes and colds; Many riders can't adapt and give up.

Batang to Ranwu Lake is the second stage, which industry experts call "abuse". This section has been riding on the plateau at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, with steep slopes and rotten roads, and it has to climb the Dongdashan Mountain, the highest peak of 5 100 meters. The climate often changes suddenly, and the wind and hail are very painful. Many sections of the road can't be ridden at all, and you have to push the cart to move.

The third stage is called "wave", which is from Ranwu to Lhasa. After early suffering and tempering, the body has adapted. At this time, the scenery of the Sichuan-Tibet line is also beautiful to the extreme. At this moment, I began to enjoy the joy of riding, appreciate the natural scenery and feel the primitiveness and purity of Tibetan areas.

The above summary was told to me by the boss of "573 18 Sichuan-Tibet Service Station", which sounded very exciting; Later, I contacted many riders, and I was even more eager to try.

Why? Because those riders are not all experienced and young; On the contrary, most of them are similar to or older than me, and there are not a few who belong to the "rookie" level like me; Among the riders, the youngest is only 7 years old and the oldest is 79 years old.

I'm a seven-foot man. Why should I be afraid?

As for riding, is it wonderful? Look at the circle of friends of riders.

For example, the middle-aged and elderly cycling group in Wuhan, a total of 19 people, including 6 women; The youngest team is 48 years old and the oldest is 69 years old. Among them, Ms. "Sunflower" is responsible for the live broadcast of the circle of friends. With her consent, I forwarded it in Tianya Forum, which attracted countless onlookers. Below, I quote her farewell again, please enjoy it:

I have always felt that people still have to see one scenery in this life, and that is Tibet!

Brilliant sunshine, white clouds, continuous snow-capped mountains, quiet lakes, numerous temples, devout believers, simple folk customs and Sichuan-Tibet highway, here we come!

From Chengdu at an altitude of 5 12 meters to Tibet at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, it is not just a road, but a pilgrimage in the journey of life.

The best thing in life is a heartfelt wish for the future. The greatest fear in life also comes from doubts about the unknown uncertainty.

Just like our riding, beauty and trouble coexist.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a God in Lhasa, because there is something more important than God in people's hearts, and that is faith!

There are two most dazzling lights in the world, one is the sun, and the other is the way we work hard. Come on!

How's it going? Isn't it wonderful? Not only is the writing beautiful, but also full of passion.

Look at her summary:

The 28-day event was organized and planned by team boss Daye He Yan, passing through Chengdu, Ya 'an, Xingou, Luding, Kangding, Zheduotang, xinduqiao, Xiangkezong, Honglong Township, Litang, Heni Township, Batang, Mangkang, Rumei, Xurong Station, Zuogong, Bangda, Basu, Ranwu and Bomi. * * * There are 12 mountains above 4000 meters above sea level, and there are two mountains above 5000 meters above sea level. The highest elevation is 5 130 meters in Dongdashan. Experienced high reaction, high temperature, cold, heavy snow, thunderstorm, hail, thirst, rapid decline, difficult climbing, injury, a whole day of headwind torture. The total mileage is 2245 kilometers. During the long journey through wind, frost, rain, snow, climbing mountains and wading, the team leaders carried forward the fearless spirit of the dragon and horse, actively and properly handled and arranged logistics work, and expressed their deep gratitude and high respect here!

To sum up, we can see their difficulties in challenging the Sichuan-Tibet line. But I can feel that after suffering, what they get is a great sense of accomplishment, a washing of the soul and an improvement of the realm of life.

What you get on paper is very shallow, and you have to practice it after you realize it.

Rather than fishing in the forest, it is better to retreat and build a net.

Ordinary riding is a hobby and an exercise. Riding the Sichuan-Tibet line is a challenge, a temper of will and a practice of life.

Therefore, the wonderful Sichuan-Tibet line is a necessary journey in life.
