First up is the BASSO Sakura Challenge in Northern Taipei

The route takes you through Danshui and some parts of the North Coast, into the sakura tree area north of Shimen and back towards Danshui.
Personally, it’s quite an annoying route due to the fact you go through the busy No.2 coastal highway that has a lot of traffic lights. However, a nice first race of the season to participate in.
