- Got chased by 5 mastiffs today and chased them off with sticks and rocks. Those dogs are ferocious! #
- Also had longest distance of the trip between signs of civilization (and food) today — 65km of dirt roads thru mountains! Beautiful though! #
- Started raining just as we started pitching tents. Everything got soaked and kids ran off with the bikes! Got bikes back and dried tents out #

- And we're up on the Tibetan Plateau! 3,500+ meters and moving onto the grasslands! #
- Crossed a pass at 4,245m (14,255ft). Now it's all yaks, mastiffs and Tibetans! Definitely in the middle of nowhere now though. #
- Just had an amazing night with a bunch of Tibetan yak herders in a big ol' tent. Dinner of yak meat and peppers cooked on yak paddy stove. #

- About to start our climb onto the Tibetan Plateau. Currently in Dujiangyan at 535m with the first blue sky since entering Sichuan! #
- Apparently first 100km are not as bad as we thought. Real climbing starts after Wenchuan, site of 2008 quake #
- 店主：您们骑车去哪里？我：青海。店主：很多人去西藏，你们干吗不去？我：因为外国人去要办证，特难办。店主：对，西藏保护动物很多，不能随便看的。 #
- Today was Day 300 and we crossed 13,000 km, passing through some remnants of destruction and many rebuilt places from the 5/12/2008 quake. #
