Biking Taiwan: Linkou, 105, 北79, 15, 108 loop
I went out for casual ride today, figuring I’d go along a new road and retry 108. By the end of the ride, I had some new lessons and thoughts to keep in mind..
- Going through Taipingling-太平嶺 is a cool ride. The place magically reminds me of being in the Mediterranean.
- If an interested, unplanned path comes along, take it!
- On hot days, bring more water.
- On hot days, ride slower.
- No matter how much I like riding 108 up, the trucks and exhaust are enough of a deterrent to make this ride no longer enjoyable.
- Taiwanese folks are extremely helpful in giving directions even if your Chinese speaking skills are barely above “我叫Michael”.
