A week later, Liu Erbao burst out of the temporary office in ecstasy, calling out to An Si and Ren He, who were huddled together smoking.
Just a moment before, the two had been discussing extreme sports. An Si asked Ren He what his next move would be, since he had already reached the pinnacle of the cycling field. Was he considering taking on a higher challenge?
By "higher challenge," he was referring to either more dangerous mountain bike downhill races within the cycling domain or professional road cycling races like the Tour de France.
Ren He hadn't considered mountain bike downhill yet because it was hard to find suitable mountains for it in China. This sport had strict demands on the terrain. It wasn't a matter of just having a difficult path—going 150km/h on a dirt road could easily end one's life.
