Day two and still pedalling

I am still alive. Somewhere on the G107 about 200k south west of Beijing. Have absolutely no idea if this is an internet cafe or not. There are 2 computers and about 5 other people all watching over my shoulder which is more than a little offputting!

The riding so far has been fine. Flat roads, fine weather. The air is still grim, although not quite as bad as yesterday when visibility was down to 2-300m in places. Haven't yet braved the tent as there are people everywhere. The land I'm cycling through is pretty much all farmland and I wussed out last night, we'll see what tonight brings. Final destination about 15 k down the road.

Will write more when I find a computer without an audience.
