This race looks very cool but the transportation is making me hesitate
especially since I don't know much about the event. It looks like the
flight from Shanghai is going to cost about 3600rmb plus carrying the
bike. Has anyone found any less expensive, though possibly less direct
transportation options?

Regards,
Israel
