Happy Father’s Day! I hope my dad and father-in-law had a good day. We made it to Beijing and have been in traffic now for a while. We are driving to Tsinghua University to get settled in. The overnight train from Shanghai was really nice and the sleeper cars were very comfortable. However, apparently the Chinese don’t stow away the top bunks when not in use because no one knew how to get them back down come sleep time. Upon seeing our bunked beds and excellent headroom, one conductor exclaimed: WWHHHAA??!?? Thus indicating difficulty in undoing our proud accomplishment. Today we get settled into Beijing with introductions, bikes and teams.
