MTB North Vietnam January 29th to February 6th 2012:
Trails of TONKIN ALPES: ROUTE: Overnight train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (on the border with China) and from 8 days of MTB in the mountainous northern Vietnam with terminus in Hanoi. 470 km (62% Off Road), maximum altitude 1700 m.o.h.
Cannondale RZ ONE TWENTY 3 (model 2011) brought me about 470 km around the mountains of North Vietnam. One puncture was it.
Bridge across the Chay River near the town of Hoang Su Phi, North Vietnam. 2nd Cycling Day.
3rd Cycling Day from Hoang Su Phi to Ha Giang.
*****************The landscape of 1st Cycling Day from Lao Cai to Bac Ha. Rice fields.
5th Cycling Day from Yen Minh to Bac Mê. Lots of vertical meters on this day.
7th Cycling Day from Ba Be to Vinh Loc. Through the dense rainforest.
8th Cycling Day from Vinh Loc to Tuyen Quang. Crossing the river by boat.
The tour guide was full of fun ………
……. and had a good grip on the local population
The trip was meeting with many of the country’s minority groups.
Efter 8 dages cykling fortsatte turen; og det som backpacker rundt i Vietnam og Cambodja i yderligere 5 uger. Se turen under afsnittet BLOG. ********************
After 8 days of cycling trip continued, and as a backpacker around Vietnam and Cambodia for another 5 weeks. See the tour section Vietnam&Cambodia BLOG 2012
