2007-11-04- Tamshui trip

It's been several lazy week that no one likes to ride, and even this blog has not been updated. It was only William and me to go out to restart our biking again. William suggested to go to Tong-Ho becuase he liked to stand up right where he fell down so he can get rid of ghost in his mind. It was really a positve thought, unfortunately it was a bit rainning, so we changed our mind and take a TamShui trip again, and then take MRT back to Taipei.

My total riding time is around 1 hour and 40 min, Distance is around 30 km. It was good to have my bones refreshed in this trip.

2007-9-11 Fu-Shan trip

This was the last trip before Tony left, it was a bit sad but the weather was just right for biking. I wonder this was the best weather that we had ever experienced for our biking trip so far.

2007-6-24 1) HsinDien-ZeTang, 2) HsinDien-ShiDing-Guting

Trip 1) HsinDien-ZeTang














Member: Tony, William, Carol and Ning

Ning's total riding time:37.67 km

Ning's total riding distance: 2 hr 14 min

I waked up at 5:30 AM and arrive XinDien MRT station at 6:15 AM, started to ride at 6:45 AM. Something wrong with Tony's bicycle break so he had to go back home to change bicycle. This was a hot and stuffy day. The weather was too unfriendly to ride bike, so we had to stop before noon to prevent from getting sunstroke. We met more than 100 bikers from Big Apple biking club. As for as I know, Big Apple is the biggest and well organized biking club in Taiwan. but it is hard for me to imagine how to manage a biking trip with more than 100 participants. We had lunch at a HuYuan restaurant (http://www.coupon.com.tw/go26665367.htm) even though William and I just had fruit and noodle, respectively. I forgot what Tony and Carol ate but they pretty loved their chiken combo.

The track recorded by GPS as shown in the photo is very crazy and ridiculous, becuae of limited GPS signal detected in this mountain.


Trip 2) HsinDien-ShiDing-Guting














Member: Ning

Total riding time: around 2.5 hours (something wrong with my cycle computer, so this is just estimated)

Total distance: 45 km

Eveybody had appointment in the afternoon, so I just kept riding from XinDien to ShiDing at 12:30 PM. I was actually planning to ride to PinXi but I gave up because of possible torrential rain after big thunders all round the mountain area.

I had BBQ Tofu with pickled vegetable, icecream spring roll with peanut powder and coriander leaves at ShenKeng. That taste pretty good, and thank to the boss of icecream spring roll for filling water for me.

Gear Shifting

Not sure if this is the best linkage between front and rear sprockets, but this is a good arrangement in my mind. I need everybody's opinion.

2007-6-3-ChinTienGang






















William, Carol, Regine, Ning and Ali
Totol riding time: 1 hr 8 min
Total distance: 9 km (including off-road trail)
This was a very short ride at YangMingShan. It started to rain before we finish walking trail loop at top of ChinTienGang, so this trip has to be stopped unfortunately. We met a group people accidently, one lady was a professional bike rider who is gonna ride from BeiJing to XinJian on Jun. 5. It seems that she is a very serious rider. Here is her blog: http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~d95521009/index.html , her Beijing to XinJian trip will be recorded here: http://candice1117.blogspot.com/ ning
