Retrospective 3: Apr-2010 Taipei

OK, so who actually takes a bike TO Taiwan? I managed to meet up with a group for a couple of rides: one up Yang Min Shan (1200m) and one cruise around the north coast of the island. Stunning riding. Cruising back along the north east coast.

OK, so I completely cramped up, which gave me an excuse to stop and take photos:

And one of the most fun rides was along Chong De Road, which runs through the hillside cemeteries in eastern Taipei: wonderful switchback roads and almost no traffic. Most amazingly of all, you're on this road within about 2km of Taipei 101.

...and a small-wheeled bike attracts no attention at all. Quite a change from bringing it out in other places.
