Vietnam: Biking in Sapa


On Saturday morning we went to a mountaintop retreat called Sapa and spent the day on bicycles riding almost 40 kilometers down the mountain.

The “sag wagon” for our bicycle trip was an ancient Russian jeep! Fran rode the entire distance with no major calamities, kept smiling all day! [That was Bob's sentence. Actually, I fell off my bike onto a puddle of mud and that smile was really a grimace! Nothing was broken and , in truth, the ride really was all DOWNHILL. - Fran]

The chain on our guide's bike broke, so he had it repaired












Doesn't everyone run into water buffalo as they ride down a mountain?












A 20 year old jeep from Russia was our support vehicle
