Mang Den - An Khe (87km, 1000m climbing)
A welcome bowl of pho for team breakfast before setting off. Back on the majestic Ho Chi Minh Trail today passing through the dense forest of the Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve in the morning and following a long river valley in the afternoon. A concert of cicada sound effects in the nature reserve!
After the relentless afternoon climb of yesterday today was undulating with lots of rolling hills to sweep us along. A highlight of the day on H2H is around 11-12 when the kids spill out of school and head home for lunch. Many hellos and high 5's follow as they stream past, happy to practise their English. We never tire of that.
An amazing lunch was provided as always by Long and Viet from Mr Biker (cooked up in the back of their truck!). Special mention for Juergen our flying German who was very excited to get spaghetti for lunch (see below pic!).
Finally, at the end of the day's ride we were invited into the home of a very friendly park ranger for a drink! Sunny skies and stunning scenery all the way again - we're so lucky! Tomorrow we reach the finish line on the beach at Quy Nhon!
Some highlights of today:
