The paths are all about experience. Once you get used to it you’ll laugh at how you used to not know your way around and those short cuts to skip traffic.
Can you tell how hot it was by just looking at the picture?
I was hoping to link up with a few guys from the (Unoffocial) Forumosa Cycling club, but everyone’s idea of “early” was different, so we all went off to do our own thing.
I was up at 4:30AM to meet up with a few other local friends at 5:30AM and I felt pretty damn horrible going to sleep and waking up in darkness. Nonetheless, I thanked myself later for setting an early meet up when it was “only” 27C when we started to climb.
We went up to Wu Fen Shan via Da Hu and then down FGZ (@the_bear finally got it right) and planned to ascend Leng Shui Keng for the final peak. Time got the better of me and I had to rush home after the first section of the climb. So my ride got cut short by 6-8km.
It was my first time on a 50/34 crank on my new bike and it definitely feels much better for injury recovery (and climbing) than the ol 52/36.
