2/10/20 Hanoi to Ba Vi resort

Today we pull out of the outskirts of Hanoi and head northwest to to the Ba Vi resort. Riding with the cars and motorscooters was a little unnerving but didn’t feel unsafe.

We had a delay at the bike shop waiting for Beth’ s and Chris’s ebikes to arrive. Beth had trouble adjusting to this e-bike as she felt it was pushing her when she started to go. No better place to work out the kinks than the city streets of Hanoi.

We stopped for lunch at a forgettable hole in the wall restaurant and had fried rice noodles.

Stopped in a rice paddy field to get a lesson on growing rice in Vietnam by our guide, Cuong.

Our ride finished with a steep 4.5 K climb to the Ba Vi resort. It was the hardest climb I’ve ever done. Felt like 12%+ grade the entire climb. Total miles today was 68K.

We finished the night with our group dinner at the resorts outdoor restaurant.
