On H2H’s fourth day, a 68km ride from Quan Lao to Tinh Gia, the sunny heat of the previous three days was replaced by dense overcast. Much of the leg would be spent on National Highway 1, which stretches the length of the country and is notoriously dangerous. I wasn’t looking forward to the hurtling, honking trucks and buses that populate the road, but at least the surface would be in mostly good condition.

Day two of H2H 2013 got off to a warm, humid start. We stretched as a group at Hoa Binh’s stadium before setting off under an overcast sky. The day’s ride was shorter than the first, at 60km, but it included the first significant hill as well – a 260 meter ascent over 5.5 kilometers. As amateur cyclists we were all nervous, though I knew what to expect.

Editorial's note: Having taken part in H2H twice, I feel that it is a unique experience that has deepened my understanding of Vietnam, which I have called home for over two years. I have had the opportunity to see parts of the country I would've never visited otherwise and get a more 'real' experience than is often available in highly developed, westernized Ho Chi Minh City. Not to mention the trip takes place on a bicycle, not the usual motorbike....
