What is the experience of traveling to Lhasa by bike alone?

The Sichuan-Tibet line is the ultimate goal of many of us in our travel career. It can be said that anyone who has challenged the Sichuan-Tibet line can travel in his career? Retire after success? Yes Personally, I also want to ride to experience the pleasure of conquering the Sichuan-Tibet line, but unfortunately it has not been realized because of work reasons.

Good friends around me have completed such a grand challenge. Such a thing, for him, is also the last challenge, and it happened two years after his graduation. At that time, he rode to Tibet alone. During the chat, he shared his riding experience with me.

First, the riding process is very hard. The Sichuan-Tibet line has always been a challenging road. Compared with other cycling routes, the Sichuan-Tibet line is very difficult to ride. Because the altitude is rising, there are many uphill sections along the way; For heavy-duty cyclists, many times, even if they push the car uphill, they will feel hard.

In the process of riding the Sichuan-Tibet line, the most obvious feeling of friends is that they are very easily tired. Compared with other trips, you may have to walk dozens of kilometers a day, but in the special section of the Sichuan-Tibet line, the distance you can ride in one day is very short. During the whole riding process, he said that if the cyclists he knew didn't encourage each other, he couldn't run to the finish line.

Second, the mood on the road is complicated. During the whole ride, my friend had a sad time. He was very moved and excited. When passing through no man's land, bite your teeth even if you are hungry, and get to the inhabited town before dark, otherwise you will put yourself in a dangerous environment.

During the journey, you will also meet people who are moved. Friends who ride the same bike will give you encouragement and help in many cases. When encountering difficulties, they will also be very enthusiastic to help; According to a friend, the bicycle tire broke down on the road. When changing tires, I met a garage owner.

Finally, he not only changed the tire for free, but also invited him to eat a meal, and the two became friends.

Although riding the Sichuan-Tibet line is very energetic and challenging; But I don't recommend riding alone, and I don't recommend riding the Sichuan-Tibet line directly. Short-distance riding training should be carried out first, and the Sichuan-Tibet line should be the ultimate challenge goal.
