A ride during Qingming Festival

On Qingming Festival, the company had a two-day holiday, and I did not choose to go home to visit my grave.

In fact, I should go back. Taking two more days off will be enough time. It has been a few years since I went back during the Qingming Festival. Time flies so fast.

My father also called me a few days before Qingming Festival and asked me if I would come back to visit the tomb during Qingming Festival. I said no, because I didn’t have enough time.

My father said, if you don’t reply, then I will go sweep the grave by myself, and then hung up the phone.

Hey~ I am very sad.

If you scold me a few words, maybe I will feel better.

On April 4, 2021, Qingming Festival, the weather was cloudy and breezy.

I woke up at eight in the morning and wanted to see the sea.

Because someone said that when you are sad, go to the sea.

I set out on a mountain bike and checked the navigation. It was a hundred kilometers from my accommodation in Dongguan to Dameisha, Shenzhen. I planned to stay one night and come back the next day, bringing my ID card. Set off with the charger.

I went out at 8.30. I didn’t feel hungry, and I didn’t eat breakfast, so I got on the bike and left.

It was a cloudy day with a slight breeze, which was perfect weather for riding without worrying about getting tanned.

The journey is very smooth, passing through Dongcheng, Liaobu, Dalang, Huangjiang, Zhangmutou, and Tangxia.

During this period, we stopped for a while in Tangxia Lincun and bought a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of energy drink in the supermarket.

Moving forward, the next location will be Fenggang Town. After passing through Fenggang Town, you will reach Longgang, Shenzhen, getting closer and closer.

At 11.40, what we were worried about happened. When we arrived in Fenggang Town, the front wheel was punctured and leaked. We had to get out of the car and push it around to find a shop that repaired the bicycle.

At this time, we are still more than thirty kilometers away from our destination.

However, the front wheel is leaking and must be repaired before setting off.

After walking the bicycle for about a kilometer, I finally found a bicycle repair shop. The repairman said that there was no tire patch and the only option was to change the tire.

The only option is to change the tire.

It was already past 12 o’clock after the tire was repaired, and then I had a meal near a bicycle repair shop.

After eating and drinking, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

We got on the bike and set off again, and the journey was uneventful, passing through Fenggang Town, to Longgang, Shenzhen, and then to Yantian.

When we arrived at Xikeng, Yantian, the navigation showed that we were still more than ten kilometers away from our destination.

But there was a little problem. The navigation showed me to go through the tunnel, but there were warning signs outside the tunnel strictly prohibiting pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles from entering.

There is no choice but to choose another way forward.

In the last ten or so kilometers of the one-hundred-kilometer journey, I was completely exhausted. Because I couldn’t walk through the tunnel, I embarked on a mountain climbing road.

I pushed the cart all the way up the mountain and drank all the water, but still didn’t reach the top. But since I’m already here, it’s impossible to go back.

Moving forward slowly, we finally finished the uphill climb.

The slope has been climbed, and the road at this time is all downhill. The exhilaration of going downhill wipes away the fatigue of the climb just now.

The end point is in front of us. After descending the mountain, we rode on the flat road for a short time before arriving at the beach.

It can be considered that we have reached the end point. It is afternoon, 14.30.

Maybe because of the Qingming Festival, there are many people on the sightseeing road.

Walk along the sightseeing road and watch the sea.

Walking along this road, the scenery along the way is good.

As I walked, I arrived at the main entrance of Dameisha, but I didn’t choose to go in.

I did not choose to go in. I have been to this place several times, always with friends.

This time I went alone, feeling a little sad.

Then turn back along the way you came.

When I came here, I originally planned to stay one night and go back the next day. But after thinking about it, I decided to go back.

It can be regarded as completing the challenge of cycling 200 kilometers in one day.

On the way back, I will modify the route.

Because I didn’t want to push the cart up the mountain anymore, I went through the tunnel.

The length of the tunnel should be a little more than a kilometer, and it goes uphill gently.

There is a long downhill road after exiting the tunnel, and the battery of the mobile phone is almost running out.

I found a store with ***exclusive power bank, picked up the power bank, bought another bottle of drink, and set off again.

I rode directly out of Shenzhen to Tangxia, Dongguan, and returned the power bank.

It is seven o'clock in the evening.

Tangxia, where I used to work, left because some unpleasant things happened.

Then I felt hungry, so I went to a store I had frequented a few years ago to have a meal.

After dinner, it was already past seven o'clock. At this time, it was still more than 50 kilometers away from where I was staying. I was hesitating whether to stay here for one night before leaving.

Because the bicycle has no lights.

After much hesitation, I got on my bike and set off, just because I found that the street lights were still quite bright.

I just had a full meal and took a rest. I feel that my strength has returned.

It should be fine.

When we arrived at Huangjiang Town, we were still about 30 kilometers away from our destination.

It is 8.17 at this time.

Then I walked forward, taking off my shirt, and slowly I felt that I couldn’t walk any more.

I arrived somewhere in Dongcheng. I was still about 5 kilometers away from my destination. The time is 10pm.

I was really tired, so I got off the car and rested.

After having enough rest, I set off again and returned to my residence in one go.
