When Dong Hongkang heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up, "Academic masters, future pillars of the country, study hard and serve the country well in the future, so that you can live up to the country's cultivation of you."
Cen Li and Bai Xuanyuan looked at each other and nodded in unison, "Well, this is necessary."
The group chatted and laughed, and the ride went smoothly at first. However, as the altitude increased, the weather suddenly changed, and suddenly it started to rain and snow.
When we arrived at the Zheduo Mountain Pass with an altitude of more than 4,200 meters, rain and snow suddenly hit our face, which made us feel cold and painful.
Everyone quickly put on their raincoats and got down to push the cart.
There was no way, the slope was too steep, and with the wind and rain, the resistance was so great that the bike could hardly be ridden.
Almost everyone struggled to hold on to their hearts and walked despite the wind and rain.
Several bodyguards saw it and came over to persuade them and let them get in the car. The road was too difficult to walk and they could just drive over.
However, everyone felt that this was a very rare experience and not too much of a hardship. If they chose to escape, the ride would be inexperienced and lose its meaning.
So, they refused and insisted on pushing while riding.
One step, one step, one more step...
Everyone wiped the rain off their faces, squinted their washed-out eyes, gritted their teeth and trudged closer to their destination step by step.
Seeing this, the bodyguards didn't say anything more and just recorded their journey with their cameras.
These will be rare memories for these young people in the future.
In the wind and rain, the concept of time was blurred, and the group just kept walking forward. I don't know how long it took, but the sky suddenly cleared up.
"It is bright…"
Several people took off their raincoats and looked at the clear blue sky and white clouds, feeling like they were surviving a disaster.
Then, everyone discovered that they had reached the pass without knowing it!
Finally reaching the top and standing next to the stone monument at an altitude of 4298, everyone was extremely excited. This is the first pass in Kham and the biggest challenge in riding into Tibet.
Crossing over Zheduo Mountain means half of the Sichuan-Tibet cycling journey is successful!
"It's finally here! Woohoo, I'm so touched!" Several girls hugged each other happily.
Several boys also looked at each other and smiled happily.
After taking photos with the stone tablet, a few people rested where they were.
They were not the only ones riding, there were also many other people who were on the same path. When we met, we started talking together.
We are all cycling enthusiasts, we have a lot in common, and our conversations are very speculative.
After taking a short rest, we continued on our way.
Climbing up means going uphill and then downhill. The remaining 30 kilometers are very easy. It can be said that it is a great way to stay in Xinduqiao!
The rest of the trip, as mentioned before, involves repeated climbs and descents. Because we have experienced many twists and turns, although the subsequent mountains are still difficult, they are within the acceptable range.
Among them, the most memorable one is probably Dongda Mountain, with an altitude of 5,008 meters. Because of the high altitude and the thin oxygen, even the car cannot be refueled. The bodyguards tried the speed and could only increase the speed to 80 yards at most.
In the past, she heard that many people climbed the Himalayas and stayed there forever, and that rescue was difficult, but Cen Li didn't feel much about it.
Now I fully understand that at high altitudes and with thin air, it is very difficult to hover up there for a long time. Coupled with the unpredictable weather, it is indeed very dangerous.
