Greetings
Hi Richard, Have enjoyed reading your blog. It sounds a very exciting, vibrant country to be visiting. Think I'd come back at least a stone lighter for not eating the dodgy meat (that's me, Christine, Jim would eat anything!!). Jim says maybe the lady at the market thought your lady rider had hidden some melons down her top!!

Noodle Soup
Hey Pa. Only just got round to reading your blog. Sounds like quite an experience. The mountain regions of Northern Vietman are something else arent they. We didnt see anything like as much as you've done. We just did a day trekking from Sa Pa & hired motorbikes one day. See if you can check out the herbal baths. Sa Pa is very touristy compared to the villages you've been used to. There are loads of good restaurants & bars. With regards to food & carb loading. Can't you get them to give you noodle soup? They live on it out there. Bits of beef & a few veg in a light broth with loads of noodles. That would be perfect for cycling & very very cheap. Enjoyed reading the reports. Keep em coming. x

What a motley crew!
Never having been on an organised tour before, I was surprised at how well we did get on together! Turkey was a brilliant place to cycle, and having a good variety of other riders to spend the time of day with was an added bonus.

Turkey
Excellent report Richard - sounds like a great place but I still think you are slightly mad. If you had a CV it would say 'Can get a free cup of tea anywhere'!

Keep Pedalling
Hello, Just thought I'd leave you a note to say good luck for the rest of your journey. China sounds an amazing place. It's hard to imagine all the sights and smells you must be experiencing. It sounds a far cry from Clitheroe and I bet that their Cement factories are a bit different to Castle Cement. All the best, Luke

Other Meats....
I found that the chinese are very open & honest about the food they serve in restaurants. In Yuangshou near Guilin the menu boards had all manner of animanls that westerners wouldn't dream of eating & in Kunming I saw a skinned dogs head (& tail) on a street side meat stall!!! Insert your reaction here....................

Hi Richard, Finally got round to reading your blog, thanks to Steph reminding me. China sounds an amazing place. Definitely a country of contrasts. We're looking forward to seeing the piccys. Are you not 'fed' up with noodles yet??? I like the sound of the banquets - but I wonder what you actually get ..... Do you know exactly what you're eating? The loos sound lovely. See you soon. Continue to keep safe. Love Kay and Geoff xxx

chicken feet & pigs heads
You will be able to rustle up some different menus when you get home! Or maybe it will be Beans on toast for a while. Hope your stomach stands up to it. Watching your blog everyday, like to know where you are, and what you have seen. Josephine xx

Greetings Father!
Hi Pops, been reading your blog - sounds like a fascinating place! Envious of the Chinese banquets - it's making me fancy getting a takeaway! Keep putting on the suncream - you should have taken our factor 50! Buy a Chinese hat to shade your head. At least your feet are covered - no medical attention needed (for a change!). I'm taking Kitty swimming tomorrow and we'll be seeing mum later, as she's coming for maths. We've seen Wendy and family today, as they're over from Australia until Saturday. Girls are on half term next week, so should be good. They say 'hi'. I took Kitty for her 12-month assessment and the health visitor thought she was doing very well, particularly with walking and strength etc. She said she was like a 15-month old. She's apparently tall for her age - on the 91st centile (which means that only 9 per cent more are taller than her for her age). I thought she was rather short! She's supposed to have her MMR jabs next Monday. Yuk! Hope you continue to enjoy the trip. I'll be reading your blogs. See you soon xxx Joanne

Different World
Sounds good so far pops. Is Xiazhuang near Dali? I spent a 2 or 3 days in Dali in 2002 & also Kunming. Kunming is only about 200 miles north of Sa Pa in Northern Vietnam, where Paul & I did some trekking last November. Martin & I went Mountain biking on the South Downs this weekend. First time I've had martin on his bike this year I think. Hopefully we'll keep it up & ride every weekend now.

Hi Dad. Sorry I haven't left a message before now, but we've enjoyed keeping up with your progress. The girls (older two!) keep looking to see what you're up to. Mum said you'd arrived safely at Paul's and were enjoying a barbecue. Australia has been on our news a lot because of all the bush fires, heat and deaths! Keep away from the bush!! Last night we went to Jill's 40th birthday party and got home at 2.30am, when it was a chilly minus 4.5 degrees. I had consumed a little more wine than was sensible, and Kitty woke up just as my head hit the pillow!!! She then woke again at 6.30 for another feed. Torture!! Mum's here now and we are about to have a lunch of roast chicken, Yorkshire pudding etc, which should be good. Looking forward to seeing you next week. Preparations are ongoing for Kitty's Christening - two weeks today. See you soon, Enjoy your last week, lots of love Joanne and gang xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You're in the right place down there...
Richard - Good to read your reports, hope the leg is getting better. As I was reading about the guy with the crap accommodation I knew exactly what you were going to say next - "He's in the wrong job" ! - found a girl in a Pharmacy in Mallorca last week who the same comment applied to. UK weather forecast is for a return to Arctic conditions next week, so you've got the best deal over there. Best wishes, keep safe.
