Check out the 5 minute trailer of our 146 day motorcycle ride around China! We've got plenty of amazing views, scary traffic jams, and precarious cliff-side roads after almost 5 months on the road, and this just scratches the service.

Well, this is it. The last post of the trip! Officially we've been off the road for a week now. It's been a very busy week, moving into an apartment, applying for the Guinness record, and catching up with friends who we hadn't seen in nearly half a year. The last few days into Beijing were by no means easy though. We hit some of the coldest weather since Tibet, strongest winds since Urumqi, and boatloads of trucks.

Heading back north now through central/eastern China before heading over to the coast. Pollution in eastern China during the winter can be especially harsh, giving us the wrong kind of fuzzy feeling inside when thinking about heading back to Beijing. A nice reunion with a motorcycle club in Shandong helps to take our mind off of it though!

Continuing on after our final rest days of the trip in Shanghai. We pass through a few of the popular sights that are in the area including one of the largest Buddha statues in the world and one of China's most sacred mountains.

Busy couple of days but not much distance covered. We do two fund raising presentations, one in Hangzhou and one in Shanghai with a little bit of a break for Thanksgiving festivities in between. This, at least for us mentally, marks the beginning of the last leg of the trip for us.

Getting back into the mountains after a week-long hiatus. 3 days exploring the hills of Fujian province including visiting a UNESCO heritage site, the one of a kind Tulous (Earth Buildings), then a drop down to Xiamen and then back into the mountains again.

A hectic few days as we cross two borders (twice) and participate in a fundraising event with Free Lunch for Children. Great time wandering around Macau, even making some money while we're there. Lots of time commuting while in Hong Kong though.

We manage to cover over 1,200km in three days as we make the choice to take the highway to get back down south to the coast where we have plans to visit Macau, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen.

3 days off at the beach in Sanya but we are kept busy as we participate in fundraising events with the hotel and Free Lunch for Children. We also meet with some of the local press talking about our trip and our charitable efforts. All in all, managed to raise nearly RMB40,000 to go towards school lunches in rural China!

In three days we go through 3 different provinces, experience drastic changes in climate, and our luck with our broken luggage rack both falls short and holds up.
