Mountain Biking (Kanas ) 4:36:20 [3] 39.54 km (8.6 kph) +1065m
ahr:116 shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014
Went for a long ride, out on the first part of Leg 7 and back on the last part of Leg 14 into the finish. Couldn’t follow the intended route out of the transition as the nearby national park is now closed to us so we went up a side valley which turned into a special hike-a-bike. Summit ES the ridge where we ran a few days ago and then picked up the return route instead heading back along the course. Very beautiful mountains and meadows but also wet from snow melt and slow going surfaces in general. A lot of riding in meadow grass. Turned around after 3h and the return was a more solid cattle and Jeep track, which took us down to the main local tar road. Small climbs and then hairpin bends downhill back into Kanas. Averaged 12.4 rolling speed and 8.4 overall, so our racing times would be slower than the expected 10km/h we planned our race on.

Arrived at quarantine for map pickup to find race cancelled by Chinese government due to regional security concerns.
Not good. And Cyanosis has now turned up at both of the only 2 ARWS races where there has been big shit before the start, Bimbache Spain and now here in China. Organizers and government seem to have a pool of money though to reimburse competitors costs.

Orienteering (JiaDengYu) 1:42:34 [3] *** 12.6 km (8:08 / km) +567m 6:39 / km

JinDengYu, 1:15000, 20m
We were given all the race maps so we headed off to do the orienteering (leg6) just outside the village. Turned out to be longer than the expected 6km. Otherwise easy light green course, but lots of hills. Flags and SI units still out in most CPs.

Easy trek and run up a nearby mountain ridge. Started snowing lightly on us at one stage. Got to the main ridge and came back through the valley into town. Lots of forest and open meadows. Very alpine and remote.
