Day 4, 73km:

Today we cycled up the hot dusty Xi'an valley some more. There were lots of road
 works on this bit. This meant lots of trucks on unsurfaced road kicking up dust.
 Chris used a surgical mask he stole from the NHS.  After lunch we turned off
 the hideous valley road at Baoji and headed up a mountain road with a pretty
 river running alongside which was popular with Chinese tourists to swim and
 float in rubber rings. The mountain rd was also very popular with cyclists
 despite being busy with traffic and we saw lots of day trippers.
 We stayed at a little hotel that included a huge plate of dumplings
 each in the room price. Awsome. (by Amy)
