"Old Huang, you lucky dog, you struck it rich! You're treating, you absolutely have to treat me!"
"I didn't think that Zhou Ming kid would be so on the ball. It's not like those official races where the winner's prize money looks so tempting, but it turns out to be all pre-tax!"

Unlike Zhou Ming and his group, who turned around and went back the way they came, Huang Chong and Dewey continued on from the finish line, planning to complete a full loop around Qiandao Lake to get back to their hotel before returning to Hangcheng.
Although it was getting late and the midsummer sun was starting to beat down, Dewey would rather endure a longer ride than face another 50 kilometers of rolling climbs on the way back.
The reason was simple: after the finish line, it was all Daping Road. That was his comfort zone.
