Day 65
The MKRIDE team finally rolled in to Shanghai at 2pm on Sunday October 17th. Some 65 days and 17,674km after we departed in mid-August. Our journey has been an amazing one, and it has not been without it’s trials and tribulations. It is important for Colin and I to reach out to the riding communities who supported us during this trip. We didn’t complete this journey alone. There are several people who were absolutely instrumental in getting us safely back to Shanghai; a special thanks must go out to those few individuals, you all know who you are. Please continue to check the website (www.mkride.com) for updates on our book and film release. We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated.
Day 64
The MKRIDE team safely arrived in Putoshan, Zhejiang. We made it to this remote island off the coast of Shanghai in the late evening and had a lovely day of riding. We are within striking distance of Shanghai!
Day 63
The MKRIDE team safely arrived in Wenzhou, Zhejiang today. Lovely roads along coastal China, but funny enough none of the roads are actually on the cost, they are all hidden a fair distance inland; not sure why.
Day 62
The MKRIDE team safely arrived in Fuzhou, Fujian province today. The journey from southern Fujian province to northern Fujian province led us through some amazing mountainous roads and allowed us to explore one of China’s most visually stunning provinces. We also got to watch a bus burst in to flames, educational day. Glad I am not traveling by public transport.
