On Day 25 we traversed 112 or so kilometers of rolling hills with a couple of large climbs thrown in for fun. Or course large climbs come with lovely downhills. All in all it was a lovely day of riding on low-quality extraordinarily bumpy roads. Bumpy roads that took out bikes and rattled bones.

| Rice fields just out of Lien Son. Only a hair over 100 km to go! |
 |
| 108 km to go! |
 |
| Second shade stop on the first significant climb of the day and my first Choco-Pie stop. Drainage ditches have become my favorite place to take a rest. |
 |
| Patrick clearing the top of the first climb |
 |
| Naomi is all smiles at the top of the first climb because the awful rocky road hasn't started yet |
 |
| Miscellaneous photo stop |
 |
| I do believe Leanne's derailleur cable was the first victim of the day's road condition |
 |
| Lovely countryside, perhaps coffee & wine? |
 |
| Floating village in a river |

| The portion of the road that put a hole in my back tire |
 |
| Waiting for our mechanic. Afterward Sasha ended up with matching red tires. |
 |
| We get closer to Ho Chi Minh City every day. |
 |
| Slowly crushing out the kilometers! |
