George's first "real" bike ride in China







This morning I went on my first ride with the Shanghai Triathlon club. They told me it was going to be 30 – 40km and it turned out to be 90km with two guys who are near pro. Needless to say it was a tough ride and getting use to riding in traffic at speed is taxing. I almost hit a chicken and later missed hitting someone’s goose. When someone signals that there is something in the road you best heed their warning as many times it’s a missing manhole cover. All of the team mates have been in accidents since coming to Shanghai. Great..:( The roads are rough in spaces and I flatted once and need new tires. I was glad to make it home in time for church.
