So, back in April of last year I convinced Michael to buy a bike and join me on some bike rides. I love riding my bike, but it gets a bit boring on your own when you’re out for 4-5 hours. The hills to the south of Weinan have some challenging roads with steep inclines. That’s part of the reason why I rarely take my big camera with me, and instead choose to use my cell phone camera (which sucks, thanks HTC!)


The reservoir is always a good place to bike to.

Some good sweeping turns. (Although they’re more fun on the motorbike.)

  

Some of the hills are steeeep! (As always, hard to express in photos.) A bit too steep for Michael. He had to jump off and push a few times. Although, we also had to choose where to stop and rest. We discovered next to the bee hives wasn’t the greatest place to stop.

Michael in all his glory.

Some nice scenery.

Winter sometimes makes me forget just how beautiful this place can be in summer.

Haven’t seen a sky this clear all winter.

Our trusty steeds. Michael’s “Chent” mountain bike was about 350RMB / 35 British pounds. Not bad. Apparently a thief thought it was a good bike too. It was stolen from Michael’s apartment complex after a few months of ownership…Michael had left it unlocked. 🙁 D’oh!
