Who: Hi, my name is Marian. I'm a 43-year-old American. I work as a translator from Chinese to English, sometimes for large companies but mostly for publishers and government departments.

Of course, if you are here instead of my other media and social media type locations you may have been following me since the days of that Other Website and you probably already know all this. However, assuming you are new to long-form tour journals and you haven't come across me in the past, I'm fathletic with an injured leg that requires a mobility aid, I went on my first overnight tour in 2005 and my first cross-continental tour in 2008, I have a job that allows me to work remotely, and I'm sort of a D-list celebrity in China.

大家好，我是岳玫瑰，43岁，美国人，是一名中英翻译，主要服务于出版社和政府机构，偶尔也承接企业项目。

如果您是通过这个平台（而非其他社交媒体）关注到我，或许早在那家说不出名字的网站时期就已是我的读者，对我的背景早已熟悉。但假设您是初次接触我的长途骑行日记，让我简单介绍自己：我是热爱运动的胖子，腿部受伤需借助助行器，2005年完成首次过夜骑行，2008年首次跨大陆骑行。我的职业支持远程办公，在中国算是“小有名气”的外籍人士。

What: My 2024 Big Ride or "大骑". 

2024年度长途骑行计划

Where: Starting from Beijing, heading west to Ningxia, and then south until the weather gets too cold for me to tolerate. I think I'll make it as far as Chengdu.

从北京出发向西至宁夏，再南下，直至无法耐受严寒而中止。预计最南抵达成都。

Why: Why not? Even though I'm pretty slow (see: injured leg mentioned above), super long distance bike rides have been my preferred travel method for over a decade. Note: I'm only listing the ones that were longer than 7 days.

何乐而不为？尽管因腿伤速度受限，超长距离骑行始终是我十余年来最钟爱的旅行方式。注：以下仅列举历时7天以上的行程

1. 2005 - Beihai to Hanoi

When: Well, I usually try to start my Tour in the spring but there were various reasons that I couldn't and then I was going to spend 3 weeks in Ireland in July and, as I've previously done both leaving a trip for a week plus and coming back and done going directly from biking to another country, I knew I didn't want to do that, so I moved it to a mid-August start date which got pushed to September 1 so that I could finish work, and then got pushed again to mid-Autumn festival because of some event I was supposed to be at that I'm not going to be at (in favor of a substantially better event) and now I'm seriously worried that winter is going to creep up on me before I'm far enough south to ignore it.

However, it is what it is.

通常我会春季出发，但这次因故推迟。七月原计划赴爱尔兰三周，考虑到既往经验（曾多次中途暂停行程或直接从他国转场骑行），我不愿重蹈覆辙，才将出发日调整至八月中旬。后又因工作需要延至9月1日，最终因一场临时活动（更值得去的活动）再次推迟至中秋节。如今我担忧的是：骑行南下的速度若不及寒潮推进，我可能会遭遇严寒天气。

但无论如何，既来之，则安之。
