I challenged John and Jason to an exciting bike race around the narrow alleyways and streets of the hutong.  It was an exciting race.  Jason weaved in and out of doorways, did some jumps.  They were neck in neck for awhile, but John pulled ahead in the end and won the race.

Captain Jeff here from the heart of red China. We arrived at 17:00 last night at Beijing International and barely made it through the security at the airport. The people here have been quite friendly addressing me as "Hello Captain" "Ni-hao capt." or "Hi there Mr. Captain." We had a hearty of meal of dumplings, rice and some spicy fungus. After 2 large Yangjing beers I told the boys to "give 'er a rest" so they'd be frosty for the Hutong Bike Relay the next morning. On our way back to our sleeping quarters we set out to make friends with the locals. Always good to make a few contacts. You never know when you'll need valuable intel down the road.

We're 4 weeks away from going to Beijing with the Ebaby! crew and I'm getting excited. I have been to Hong Kong, but never mainland China. I have no idea what to expect. I'm sure it's going to be very hot, so don't be surprised if you see Captain Jeff sweating profusely trying to by a mini fan he can attach to his captain's hat.
