Chill pace

So, today I took a chill pill and pedaled a nice easy 60km to the west to Yichun. I'm thinking that tomorrow I should be able to make it into Hunan Province, but we'll see - I'm still pretty sore. This morning, I didn't leave until 10:30. My shower drain in the hotel was plugged, and so I told one of the hotel workers, and the fixit guy came by with a plunger and was going at the clog for about an hour - and it still drained only slowly.

Anyways, today was a generally a gentle climb up to Yichun - I am now in western Jiangxi, and starting to get up into the mountains that form the border between Hunan and Jiangxi - tomorrow might be a pretty tough day, but it will be along a national highway, so the road should be pretty good, although it will be through the mountains.
