Cummulative Biking Update!

I've been doing a lot of biking lately but I haven't had time to blog about it...  


Three weeks ago I rode from the east side of the New Territories (Fanling) to the West Side (Kam Sheung Rd in Yuen Long).  The week after I rode back along Castle Peak Rd (near the border w/ China)  to Sheung Shui.   Then last week during the national day holiday, I rode down to Tai Wo... then this weekend down to Ma On Shan and late on Wednesday Night I went the rest of the way to Shatin... about 39 miles total! (here's the whole route courtesy of gmaps-pedometer.com)

 Here's some pics from those rides:

I found out there's a bmx park in Fanling -



Unfortunately it was quite empty... i guess the BMXers were all at Church or something. :-P

On my way down Fan Kam Rd (which connects FANling and KAMsheung).... somewhere in the middle (of no where) is the border of Yuenlong:





Really not much here!  (which is a good thing in a concrete jungle like HK)

The next week on the way back from Yuen Long I took a side road in Mai Po near the border with Shenzhen (Mainland China city right across the border):

This area is full of fisheries and other random stuff...  I guess it was all marshland and then over the years they turned it into separate bodies of water. 

I followed this road a bit farther than I think I was supposed to:

They have a fence here to keep illegal immigrants and smugglers out of HK...    I decided to try going to the right instead...


But I wasn't exactly sure what to do when faced w/ this sign...   I wasn't sure if they meant that the fenced off area was 'frontier closed area' or where I was already standing was 'frontier closed area' (since I technically passed through a police check point that wasn't manned..)

fearing they may be watching me on some TV cameras or something, I turned around...  next time I go back I'll try to see how close i can get to the border before the police stop me.
:-P


ps - by the time you read this, I should be in sunny, tropical, politically unstable Thailand...   supporting my homies in 24Herbs!
