China Day 2<\/a><\/em> <\/p> \n

Well today was the first of the difficult days where we would be cycling up some hills. There were 4 in total not too bad from my point of view, 1100m being the highest one to climb. So up at 06:30 for a 07:00 breakfast and a 08:00 start on the ride about the usual with all these rides. Some flat riding to the first hill then up it, down a little bit the up the second hill but this one wasn\u2019t as bad and we stopped for lunch after it. I can\u2019t say I\u2019m enjoying the food that much I was never a big fan of Chinese food and over here the food doesn\u2019t really taste that good to me, everyone else seems to like it. This causes a slight issue in that what little I can eat isn\u2019t really enough for me to cycle comfortably with so I\u2019m left feeling hungry most of the time.
\nAnyway after lunch we tackled the last 2 hills and then it was basically flat for about 15 miles to the end by which point in time I was looking forward to it. Have to say the weather has been quite hot around the 25 \u2013 35 degrees depending on the time of the day and I\u2019ve got a little sun burnt, need to be a bit more generous with the sun cream. <\/p> \n\n\t\t
