Lijiang to Chengdu on a Tandem Bicycle Part 2: Along the Tibetan Boarder

Posted November 04, 2016 by Cara Crawford

More gorgeous scenery awaited us as we rode out of old town Shangri-La. Today we were descending down the mountain that so painfully took us five hours to climb just two days before. Eventually we were to make it over 4600 m of elevation, 1300 m higher than Shangri-La, but as if 1300 ...

2016 Himalayan Tandem Bike Tour Gear List

Posted October 18, 2016 by Justin

We went on a beautiful tandem bike tour from Lijiang to Chengdu over 1200 km of open countryside. To facilitate such a trip we had an abundance of gear for every possibility. As I grew up in the Boy Scouts, I follow the Boy Scout motto “Be prepared”. This led to our detailed gear lis...

Lijiang to Chengdu on a Tandem Bicycle Part 1: Riding to Shangri-La

Posted October 18, 2016 by Cara Crawford

The view out the window was an expanse of white one second and full of towering mountains the next as the plane descended out of the low hanging clouds and landed on the runway, sandwiched between two mountains. We arrived in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China, the start of our two week long bike ...

Exploring Shangchuan Island

Posted August 31, 2016 by Cara Crawford

Nothing embodies the spirit of summer like playing in the water. And nothing kills that spirit more than living at a beach that is too nasty to swim in (pollution, China, you know where I’m going with this). Thankfully, Zhuhai is home to a host of islands right off the coast with lovely blue wa...

Zunyi Chishui River Valley International Cycling Race

Posted May 11, 2016 by Justin

On April 22, I started the epic trip to Maotai for the start of the 1st Annual Zunyi Chishui River Valley International Cycling Race. I got the call in the morning to find out my flight was cancelled, so I returned the call and after several attempts got a flight out of Guangzhou instead of Zhuha...

Colorful Gran Fondo China from Yunnan Province

Posted January 26, 2016 by Justin

My racing team in China mentioned this race in Yunnan 云南省 in passing. I am very glad I looked into it and we made it out for some fantastic riding and racing in Yunnan, which is a neighboring province to Tibet (Xizang 西藏省). Cara and I packed up our new coupled tandem into my single bike bag and ...

Tangjia Zhuhai Monthly Night ITT

Posted November 04, 2015 by Justin

Individual Time Trials are not something I normally participate in or look forward to racing in as they hurt, and I have never really done that well in them anyways. My teammate and friend Steve has been really getting into them and wanted me to come out and do this one that is on the same c...

Zhuhai Airport Road Race

Posted November 04, 2015 by Justin

Today was quite a day of racing. Cara and I awoke at 8am, so that we could go outside and walk the less than 100m to where the Tour of China was scheduled to race past our apartment. This was pretty cool and only the second time I have gotten to see a full blown UCI road race. I was pleasantly...
