Ellen has been riding from Aer Shan to Wulan haote the last 2 days. Yesterday she did an epic 225 km ride over 5 mountains. At one point, she was going at a speedy 39 kmh (pretty awesome considering she’s on a fully loaded bike!). The heat has been pretty intense. The highs have been 40 degrees Celcius, that’s 104 degrees for people reading this stateside. It was 38 in Shanghai yesterday and just leaving the house was a daunting prospect, let alone riding a bike though mountains. Don’t worry though, Ellen takes naps/breaks during the hottest part of the day and is drinking plenty of fluids.
