Cycling Diary of National Highway 320 (Guiyang-Yuping Section)

After school at seven o'clock in the morning, it was cloudy when I left Caijiaguan. There is no sunny day, but I am glad that I met good weather on the first day of departure. It is precisely because of this weather that I will never forget it.

Originally, I wanted to take Longdongbao Avenue through the Third Bridge and enter the entrance at the junction of 2 10 and National Highway 320 in the direction of the airport. As a result, I got lost in the flower orchard and bypassed the direction of the Che Xiao River, so I had to change my route halfway to ask for directions. Guiyang citizens are still very enthusiastic and willing to show me the way. By finding Jiefang Road and Airport Road in the center of the city, they are still very excited to prepare for their first long-distance cycling trip, or a little worried about riding a bike on the elevated road in Guiyang for the first time.

The first time I went out by bike alone, I still took a try attitude, thinking that I would go back by car if I couldn't hold on. But just before I got on the highway, the problem came-my left pedal fell off. I was forced to. It never occurred to me that there would be problems with other bicycle parts besides tire repair. I was going to find the nearest bicycle shop to repair it. As a result, Baidu found that the nearest one was 15 kilometers away, because the pedal was useless. Do I have to push my bike and dozens of pounds of luggage 15 km?

You can only push the bike back to the original road, about 1 km. I found an auto repair shop, tried it and asked the owner if he had any tools to repair my pedals. As a result, the shopkeeper enthusiastically said to me, "Twist it yourself with a wrench." Without a bicycle wrench, he taught me how to use adjustable wrench. In this way, the small problem of the pedal was solved, and there was no problem with the pedal until the end of the 18 day tour.

When you arrive at Longdongbao Airport, follow the signs and you will find the entrances of 2 10 and 320 national highways. When I first entered the 2 10 national highway, I wrote in the space: "If you don't do something now, you won't have a chance to do it in the future. Finally found the entrance of the national highway 30 kilometers away. I got lost on the road and my pedal fell off. Fortunately, there are people who are willing to help me, thank you! "

I didn't know at that time that my nightmare for the day was about to begin. I ate a bowl of glutinous rice near the airport and set off with confidence. At that time, I was still lamenting that once the national artery, now the national highway is lonely. After a few kilometers, I met a big slope and collapsed before climbing a third. I had to push the car up the hill. I am really tired! Looking back now, I really feel that there was still no riding experience at that time. With too many unnecessary things, you can't climb on a big slope. The carriage is too tired. Under the cliff of this slope, there are many weeds, occasionally there are a few blooming lilies, and a heavy truck that has been dusty for many years has turned over in the weeds.

When I entered Gujiao Town, Duyun Section of National Highway 2 10, I knew what real despair was-the road was built for more than ten kilometers without even digging the subgrade. As soon as I saw the road sign "Welcome to Qiannan Prefecture of 2 10 National Road", it began to rain cats and dogs, and my luggage was so heavy that I couldn't ride a bike at all.

Although I really feel the despair of riding at this time for the first time, something good will happen. I took shelter from the rain under the eaves of a family, which invited me to have lunch together. This is the only time in 18 days that someone invited me to dinner. I realized the enthusiasm and simplicity of Guizhou people for the first time.

When the rain subsided, I said goodbye to the family, put on my raincoat and set off again. Pushing a bike on that road that is not a road at all, I can ride it if it is downhill. But when I meet uphill, I push a heavy bike with great pain. It continued to rain, and I was soaked to the skin, and the tires, frames and camel bags were covered with mud. Where were those lost times before me? Behind me, where are the future generations? The idea of giving up at that time has been lingering in my mind.

In this way, I walked 20 kilometers and arrived in Longli County at about 5 o'clock. When approaching the county seat, I met a college student riding a bicycle, and I felt the kindness of a cyclist for the first time.

I had dinner with my cycling friends, found a place to stay, had a good chat at night, and set off after meeting for a few days.

There is still light rain in the morning, but it is still within the acceptable range. The two of us got on the 2 10 national highway together and prepared to rush to Kaili. This road is also good and bad, and occasionally there will be big cars passing by. It rained just the day before, and the road was full of mud pits, splashing on me and full of mud spots.

When I passed Panjiang, I felt that there were dog meat restaurants on both sides of the street. At that time, I silently worried about dogs within a few kilometers of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang.

Arrived in guiding at noon and had lunch in guiding. Occasionally meet cyclists riding in the opposite direction. Everyone stopped to say hello to each other and asked, is the next road easy? Or meet a rider who climbs straight, and shout come on. The most unforgettable thing is that when I passed Guiding and didn't know where it was, I met a group of cycling teams. I crawled in pain. They shouted at me for refueling, and suddenly it seemed as if someone was pushing me forward. I insisted on climbing that long slope.

It will clear up in the afternoon, so riding will be uncomfortable. The sun is burning. If it is downhill, it will be very comfortable, but if it is uphill, it will be miserable for both of us. In the evening, we arrived at an unknown place. At that time, we were worried about where to sleep at night.

But good things will happen. We came to a place called Huangsi Town. I think it's more like a village with no place to stay. However, in a middle school, we chatted with the grandfather who was the doorman and rode here. As a result, he gladly let us spend the night in the middle school classroom.

In the morning, I made a simple arrangement, bid farewell to grandpa, the janitor, and set off again.

I learned from the riders I met the day before that the Majiang section at the junction of National Highway 2 10 and National Highway 320 is also very difficult to build roads. In this way, when we crossed Fuquan, we diverted the provincial and county roads of Fuquan directly to Kaili. Although the road conditions are ok, the uphill is very long. A bend is connected with an uphill slope, and it feels like we have crossed a mountain, and there are heavy vehicles from time to time along the way. Maybe, like us, we know that the national highway is not easy to walk, so we come to take the truck of the provincial and county roads.

At that time, when heavy vehicles were climbing like us, we pushed the bicycle painfully step by step, but when the heavy vehicles passed by us slowly, I still clearly remember that the gears of the car body clicked, because climbing requires high power.

There is such a watermelon field on the top of an unknown mountain. A watermelon seller and his daughter set up a stall on the roadside. At that time, I spent 5 yuan to buy a big watermelon, and we shared it. I learned from the uncle's chat that he took his daughter to the top of the mountain to sell melons just because he didn't want to leave her alone at home. How sad it is to hear him tell his story.

On the same day, we arrived in Kaili smoothly. Due to the two-day muddy journey, there were problems with the brake disc, brake and chain of the bicycle. We found Merida's shop in Kaili to debug bicycles. Moreover, the little brother who helped us repair the car also recommended a youth hotel-MOS Rail Station, which caters to cyclists and is affordable and comfortable.

Today, I said goodbye to my cycling companion, and I have to go alone again. I am grateful to him, too. Without his company these two days, I'm really afraid I can't hold on.

The national road from Kaili was destroyed in the landslide, so we had to take the dirt road that was still being repaired all the way to the east. Although it was still muddy, I didn't encounter any big slopes on this day. Riding a horse is not very painful, but the sun is still burning.

Passing through a small village on the road, a group of grandmothers dressed in traditional Dong costumes took the initiative to show me the way and said, "The national road out in front of the village collapsed. You'd better go to the dirt road over there. Go straight and you will meet the national road. " Thanks to them, I took a lot of detours.

The scenery along the road is the same, so I didn't appreciate it much. It's just that a tombstone on the roadside says "Take the exam first, take the exam first ..." It suddenly reminds me of Qu Yuan's Li Sao: "I am a descendant of Emperor Levin, and my name is Bo Yong." There is no such thing in the tombstones I have seen. Maybe traditional culture is constantly passing by us.

On this day, I only remember that the sun was still burning in the sky, and the rest was that there was no big slope at first, so I didn't push my bike on this day.

The trip to Guizhou is coming to an end. Unfortunately, when I entered Hunan, I didn't see "Welcome to Guizhou again …" at all, only "Welcome to Hunan …". I have to give Guizhou Road Administration a bad review.

Every trip will make people experience things you haven't experienced, let you get in touch with things you haven't seen, and gain things you haven't gained. This may be the meaning of travel.

What impressed me along the way were mountains, people and dogs. Reminds me of the movie That Man That Mountain That Dog. Speaking of mountains, Guizhou has Qian Shan, but there is no water. Are winding mountain roads. Most of the time I push my car uphill, but it's so cool to go downhill. Speaking of people, the people I met along the way were very enthusiastic, some showed me the way carefully, some kindly brought me tea, some cared about me and encouraged me, and the folk customs in Guizhou were very simple. Speaking of dogs, there are too many dogs in mountainous areas, and sometimes dogs will chase after them, which is very scary, but fortunately I know some dog language and have a pump in my hand as a dog stick.
