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!

Entering the final stage of our motorcycle ride through every province in China getting back into familiar territory on the east coast, most notably the place where we first made our pitch to CFMoto trying to get them on board with our project.

We've now passed 100 days on the road! 100 days since we left from Beijing, in the heat of summer to our first destination in Chengde. So of course to celebrate there's rain, mud, a broken luggage rack, and spectacular mountain scenery!

Busy days out of Chongqing- Expressways, farmland, planned and unplanned Giant Buddha visits, all topped up with some spectacular remote canyon driving through southern Sichuan.

Head crouched down, visor so covered in dust that it was impossible to see through anymore, shoulders sore from days of keeping the bike upright through potholes, over cliff side landslides, and around trucks determined not to deviate from their path. This was more or less the scene a couple of days into our western Sichuan excursion.

We met our competition for the world record today and it wasn't so bad as it may have at first seemed. Some creepy desert roads as we make our way to the most westerly point of our trip in Kashgar.

We leave Urumqi after a day off for our last maintenance stop before Tibet. We take a risk on a road to avoid backtracking 200km that led us on a beautiful but precarious climb up 4,600m mountain pass.

Turning up the heat as we move into Xinjiang province. We visit (one of?) the lowest points on earth at the Turpan Depression and get stranded at the abandoned tourist center in the middle of a massive sandstorm.
