Another memorable day that took us into the heart of rural Yunnan as we rode
along the 'Old Tibet' road past tranquil scenes of mud brick villages, bamboo groves, rivers and paddy fields. After the initial leg warm-up 10-km climb, the rest of the day was "flat" enjoyable riding through rural scenery.

We sensed a feeling of timelessness as the way of life here has remained
unchanged for centuries. Cycling through the numerous day markets where villagers from the local area come to buy, sell and socialise provided plenty of opportunities for interaction with the colourfully dressed minority groups of the Yi, Naxi, Bai and Ben.
