The Most Desperate Slope on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway (2020)
If you feel that the analysis of 'Buren' is reasonable, please welcome everyone to forward and share!
First paragraph: Yilangshan
Yilangshan basically starts climbing after leaving Xinqiao. It's slightly steep, with abundant vegetation and plenty of oxygen, so the pressure isn't great. The only downside is that the road is a little narrow and there are many cars, and there are collisions when turning, so we have to stop to ensure our safety.
Xinqiao to the tunnel mouth averages 43.9 meters per kilometer, which is a warm-up for the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. However, this dish will also divide the team. Strong people will go directly to Kangding, medium-level fitness will go to Wagasan, and those with weak fitness will only be able to reach Luding.
Beware of 'Buren': There were two cases of skull fracture in Yilangshan in 2019!
Cycling data reference
Start at 8:00 AM from Xinqiao
10:24 arrive at the 6 Yilangshan Tunnel entrance
Average speed 9.4 kilometers per hour
Second paragraph:
Fold Mountain: The Fold Mountain slope starts climbing from Kangding, but starting from Fold Mountain Pond, it has been climbing continuously, because starting from Fold Mountain Pond, the average climb is 54.56 meters per kilometer.
The Fold Mountain road is very wide because it is a continuous uphill climb, so we can calculate the distance to the pass within 20 minutes based on our average speed, and the error will not exceed 30 minutes. Soon after, the Fold Mountain Tunnel will open, and we will reduce the climbing by 10 kilometers and the altitude will only reach 3800 meters. Many people say that when the tunnel opens, you don't need to climb mountains anymore, do you? Even if you go from Chengdu's 510 meters to Lhasa's 3660 meters, which is a drop of 3150 meters, do you go up in a cloud elevator?
The Fold Mountain is the most variable in weather, because it is next to the 'King of Mountains' – Mt. Kangba. It stillesper to climb, but 'Buren' thinks it depends on whether you have a cold-blooded aura. Because of the Fold Mountain, many people will encounter headwinds! A mountain is easy or not depends on whether your personal aura is cold-blooded. Mt. Kangba has a cover of Mt. Kangba, and the Fold Mountain has Mt. Kangba covering it. The right one is Mt. Kangba, even if few people see it, we should know where he is.
Beware of 'Buren': Don't underestimate the 5100-meter altitude of the Fold Mountain. Control the start time and rest time on the road to avoid rushing.
Cycling data reference
Start at 8:40 AM from Xinqiao
11:21 arrive at the 24 kilometer Fold Mountain Pass
Average speed 6.8 kilometers per hour
Tenth paragraph:
Officially climbing the Fold Mountain starts from Songdu at 13.3 kilometers, with a 1073-meter increase in altitude in the previous 13 kilometers, and 12 sharp slopes marking you constantly remind you: Sharp slope! Sharp slope! Sharp slope!
Everyone counts the mileage to the end.
End of speech:
It doesn't matter how difficult the 18-kilometer slope is, what matters is your physical condition and mental state on that day, and it also depends on where that slope is in your entire journey.
For example, if you start from Sichuan-Tibet Highway on the morning of September 1st and start from Jiangyi on the morning of September 2nd, the experience will be completely different.
Therefore, strengthening physical fitness before departure is the key.
Without physical fitness, it's impossible to say and go, and the result will inevitably be to say and go, wanting to speed will inevitably lead to detours, and it's important to enjoy the journey!
