After passing through 11 provinces and riding more than 5,000 km, eight couples from Chengdu, Sichuan province, rode into Nanjing, Jiangsu province, on their three-wheeled motorcycles last Sunday.

They had set off from Chengdu on Feb 22 to publicize the Beijing Olympics and promote fitness among senior citizens.

The cycles, which can be converted into beds, boast a gas stove and pressure cooker taken along to cook meals during the journey.

A few members have caught a cold but the rest are healthy despite the privations of their odyssey.
