Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let the lurkers know that, I do ride on weekdays. Since I believe that riding at top speeds at night on the riverside is very very dangerous, my speed limit is leisure and conversational.

This is where I do much more simple and leisure routes like riverside paths or some short easy climbs like Jian Nan Road and Zhi Shan Road near the National Palace Museum.

I usually do not post the weekday rides because they are a last minute decision. So, if you’re new to the area or just need to stretch the legs, feel free to join me!
