Dude, you're cool doing solo like this. And you're correct, this time being in North China area the tempratur is not so comfortable in daytime riding long distance. Maybe planning another crosscountry in autumn when the weather becomes more friendly.
Ironically I don’t feel very cool, pretty warm for most of the day. True about the temperature but I’ve got to work with what I’ve got - and that’s a long break in the Summer. It hasn’t been too hot recently and there are a ton of petrol stations to rest in if it does get too much. Though, thankfully I’ve been fine so far (hope that’s not jinxing things!)
