WBR S2a SW Xingjiang
South of the Tianshan Range! Quite a tough section. Think if you really want to cycle this. There is better cycling north, traffic on the Duku G217 is crazy and scary and roads turn into motorways! Kashgar 喀什 Easy flight to Kashgar. Nice new hotel near the old town. Some nice walks around the old…

青蛙和生蚝环线 Frogs Oysters Loop
沿着安静的道路和自行车道，在英格兰南部和法国北部进行一次轻松的小旅行。我认为这是新手骑手或初次来到这个地区的自行车旅行者的完美路线。轻装上阵，行李不多，沿途在朋友家和酒店住宿，沿着国家自行车道骑行，同时大吃大喝，这真是一次非常愉快的放松体验。我花了 7 天的时间骑行了 1260 公里，但我建议你可以花10天内完成，或者花两周时间游览巴黎。骑自行车进行这种旅行确实会带来更好的体验。 https://ridewithgps.com/collections/2806314 I wanted to visit some old Shanghai friends who had moved back and get some KM’s on the legs. I also wanted to try out the English and French bike lanes to see how they work and how beginner-friendly they are. I therefore put together a little loop from…

2021 4+2 FSL
I’ve been visiting the area since 2012 and used to take my students to the area to learn more about the landscape and horticulture. During covid, in 2021, a friend and myself managed to escape Shanghai to research the area for further trips. A really nice drive and bike around the area. This was followed…

KKH Equipment
Roubaix Bikes: perfect for this type of thing. I would say the Roubaix is the perfect touring bike due to its compliance, all-day comfort and speed. Luggage: For this tour I ran 4 bags. Restrap saddle harness bag, frame and top tube bag and Specialized front bar bag. Durable and not too heavy. Basically had…

KKH Alternative Routes
More places to explore! I think we touched the surface in places to ride in the area and will try and go back to the China side this year and maybe PK next. CN Kashgar: There seem to be various route options around Kashgar. Don’t forget your border permits and check what is open or…

KKH4 Small hills
Day 10: To Murree Hills A very nice day with a shortish but hilly climb up to the Murree Hill station. Nice and cool and chilled ontop. Recommended as an escape and place to relax a bit. Found a very nice, rather posh, old colonial hotel and setup camp there. Day 11: Murree Loop We…

KKH3 Bandit Lands
Day 7: Normal to Chillas. We left the security of Hunza and cycled south getting our first security detail. For the next few days, we basically had armed police following or leading us. Very hospitable of them but not really needed (I guess until too late!). Good riding and good to be dropping in altitude.…

KKH2 Hunza Valley
The place to explore! Amazing scenery and people. I hope to be back. Day 5: back up the border – Khunjerab Pass. A massive day of cycling and one of my top 10 rides.. 80km up to 4700m! The climb is not so hard but the air is not so thick, so the last hour…

KKH1 Kashgar & China Side
I decided to turn up a little early and check out Kashgar. Stayed in the old town. A touch OTT on the disneyfication but that could be said about most old tourist towns anywhere. Cool to check out the old mosque and the sense of scale and markets of the ancient trading center are still…

Lots of planning
Been busy planning for this trip! A bit worried about cold weather at the end of April at 4000+ meters! Also the recent security situation. Both seem manageable and within our risk acceptance parameters! Anyway better to be a bit over prepared and geared for this type of thing. Self-sufficient, take all our own gear,…
