泸定桥 Ya'an - Xingou - Luding

The majority of accommodation on the Sichuan-Tibet line is fifty or sixty yuan a night, a bed for breakfast and dinner.

Chengdu On the second day of Ya'an, the glasses got up early in the morning and heard that his car's rear tires exploded. Before he could sit down and eat noodles, he rushed to smash his car. As a result, it was only after a check that he found a deep, long mouth on his blasted tire, which was obviously maliciously cut by a knife.

Today, the glasses and the monkey’s body are out of condition. Both of them have symptoms of palpitation, chest tightness, dizziness and vomiting. After consultation, we unanimously decided to take a rest in Ya'an for a day. After all, everyone arrived at the inn safely at 9 o'clock last night. They didn't have a good rest. Plus the temperature at the start of yesterday was extremely high. 地面 The ground temperature was as high as 42 degrees. During the whole day of riding in the hot sun, we all have mild or severe heatstroke symptoms, but the symptoms of heatstroke in glasses and monkeys are particularly serious.

Although it was a rest, we still took a leisurely ride for more than ten kilometers, riding from the Four Seasons Inn to the Dongsheng Bamboo Village Youth Hostel, shortening the distance from Ya'an to Xingou.

Dongsheng Zhuzhuang is a unique inn on the Sichuan-Tibet line. It is open on the mountainside. It has to climb a steep slope of more than 450 meters in front of it. All the way is like "Pushing up is the man, riding is pure The inspirational slogan of the men. The little girl is also riding up.

When the dinner was served at night, the condition of the glasses and the monkeys still did not improve. They were scraped with coins and they could not blow the wind or the sun. The worst result is that they will continue to rest in Ya'an tomorrow, and I, Huajie, Mosquito and Xiaoning Ningbo, the four of us will start first, which means that our team will be dispersed the next day. Xiaoning Ningbo was accidentally encountered by mosquitoes and flower sisters on Xinyi Expressway. The three people were very happy to ride on the road, so when they learned that Xiaoning was unable to keep up with the speed of the former teammates, mosquitoes and flowers. Sister invited him to join our team.

Small Ningbo is an Anhui native. He graduated from high school this year. He came to the Sichuan-Tibet line to carry a flag he had specially made with his girlfriend and took photos.

Not to mention Xiaoning, let's first say that Ya'an to Xingou's riding section, Ya'an to Xingou's riding section is the first section of the landslide high-incidence section on the Sichuan-Tibet line, which is more dangerous. Therefore, the team hopes that everyone can start together. If you are less, you will feel that your heart is not practical. The captain and the monkey slept early after taking the medicine, hoping that the symptoms of heatstroke would improve in the morning.

At 6:30 on the morning of July 16, I reached out and looked at the graffiti in the room. The rain outside the house was lying down.

We don't know how well the glasses and monkeys are recovering, but they still insist on walking with us. Everyone finished eating the porridge, wearing a raincoat and rain boots, and drenching with heavy rain, this rain is a morning, Yaan really does not bear the "rain city" reputation.

It is estimated that because of the too much drinking water in these two days, I was diarrhea when I was riding today.

At noon out of Ya'an City, the rain is getting smaller. It was very exciting and I was finally able to take off the raincoat that was in the way. As a result, I pulled down the raincoat and the zipper was cold. I was chilling, although the raincoat kept the rain. Sweating and sweating drenched the jersey we wear inside. After a sneeze, I quickly put on my raincoat and waited until I had lunch to find a toilet and put it on.

After Ya'an City, the trend is basically uphill until the new ditch. The road is super bad. After crossing the Haizigou Bridge, the road entrance of the highway tunnel under construction is passing. The road is narrow and the trucks are very numerous. The two Qianlongs were over two kilometers long and waiting for traffic on the road.

In addition to the road rotten, it is worth mentioning that the new ditch to the tunnel that will be riding all the way to Luding, the new ditch to Luding will be 74km, 22km uphill, since the Erlangshan tunnel was repaired, this distance was The whole shortened by 19km.

The tunnel is a hidden danger area with frequent accidents. The lanes inside are narrow, the light is dark, and the traffic is large. Therefore, many tunnel entrances are marked with bicycles forbidden. In addition, people have fear of instinct in the darkness, so when I entered the Longweixia Tunnel without lights for the first time, I was nervous that the pores on the cervical vertebrae were open. I couldn’t see the pit on the ground in front of the flashlight. Water, several times I want to stop and walk out of the tunnel, but the lane in the tunnel is very narrow, there may be a big car passing by at any time. If I suddenly stop, the rider’s car will hit it, so I can only hard The scalp was riding forward. When I came out of the tunnel, the tears in my eyes were blown away by the wind in the tunnel.

Through the Erlang Mountain, all the way down the slope for more than 30km, you will arrive at the county town of Luding. The flying bridge is the must-go place. The fare is 10 yuan, and you can visit it free after 6 pm.

Glasses, monkey, Ningbo, mosquito, me, flower sister

Yan to 141 kilometers from Luding, from the first climb to the first time over the mountain. What impressed me on this road is not that I can see the beautiful scenery after turning over the cornice, but I am single. When riding on the road, countless riders gave me a thumbs up and a kind of "refueling" they sent. The simple two words, as if they were enchanted, can make me full of power in an instant, giving me enough courage to move on.

I think it’s because of these people’s thumbs-ups and such a simple “refueling” that makes our departures less difficult, so that we can’t go over the mountains every day. Be alone.

Chengdu-Xingou-泸定骑行提醒:

Ya'an is known as “Rain City”. The annual precipitation is over 240 days, and the maximum daily precipitation is 340 mm. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare raincoats. In addition, raincoats play a great role in the journey of riding the Sichuan-Tibet line. It is recommended that you choose a better-quality split raincoat. After the Ya'an City, there is a general trend of uphill slope until the new ditch. After crossing the Haizigou Bridge, the entrance to the construction site of the highway tunnel is being built. The road is narrow and rotten and there are many trucks. Be sure to pay attention to safety. Special attention is paid to the many light-free tunnels from Ya'an to Luding, and it is necessary to check whether your flashlight is fully charged one night before departure.
