National Highway G110, which runs from Beijing to Lhasa, is not a fun road. We were forced to ride it for several days for lack of other options out in the desert, and we regret almost every moment of it. On our second day in Inner Mongolia, the pavement disappeared and we were left with dust, trucks and a driving headwind. Here, a masked Dave struggles with the final stretch before our expensive lunch in a concrete imitation yurt.
Sometimes the ride just grinds you down, down, down and right into the sandy desert ground. We fought a driving headwind all morning on our second day in Inner Mongolia, making progress at a snail's pace. In the afternoon, the pavement on the national highway disappeared, and we were left with desert dust, rocks and coal-carrying trucks. The headwind of course, never abated. Suffice it to say, it was a bad day. Photo by Pete.
