The Taihang Mountain Expressway is a mountainous area expressway. Although the road conditions are good, there are many slopes, and the troops ahead need to search while advancing, so the speed is not considered fast.
By around six in the morning, after cycling from after nine at night, Gao Yuan and his group had already covered over sixty kilometers by car and bicycle. The pace wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either.
Since this cycling army was entirely composed of soldiers, naturally, they all had good stamina. As for Gao Yuan, he felt virtually nothing even after cycling such a distance.
However, Gao Yuan was riding a very good bicycle, while most others were on share bikes without even inner tubes, because the base did not have the equipment to produce bicycle tires; it wasn't capable, nor was it really necessary to retrofit every bicycle to be more comfortable.
The modifications to the bicycles could only be reinforcing, reinforcing, and more reinforcing.
