Biking the outskirts of Beijing

Yesterday Matt, Daniel and I wandered the city. Matt showed us the area around the college he attends. Today Dan, Matt's dad, was kind enough to let me barrow his road bike. I went on a 30 mile (round trip) ride to a town north of Beijing. Part of the great wall is on the mountains on the outskirts of town. I did not ride up into the mountains to see the wall. We plan on hiking near the wall in the next few days. Tomorrow we plan on visiting an orphanage. Some friends of our adopted their daughter from the orphanage. It was fun riding through fields and streets of the quiet village. Here are some photos.
