Welcome to my Blog on Taiwan June 2013 cycle with my friends Sherman Kwok and Shun Yeung (Dave) Yip. The Blog is not finished but here are at least the maps of where we went.
 |
| The main goal…to reach the top of the Wuling Pass, Asia highest road at 3275m (Left to Right: Dave, Nick, Sherman) |
Over 6 days we covered 688 kilometres. From Puli at Km 275 on the maps below, we climbed for 65Kms to the top of the Wuling Pass, stopping the night at 2000m. Once at the summit, it was downhill for around 80 kilometres to the East Coast
 |
| The Route covered the southern and central part of the Island of Taiwan |
 |
| Starting in Kaohsiung Airport in the South West, we took the Taiwan middle highway over the centre of the Island to the East Coast, then south to the most southern tip, finishing in Kenting. |
 |
| First 400k of the ride, climbing to 3275 m at the top of the Wuling Pass. |
 |
| Spectacular scenery as we climbed from Puli to the top |
 |
| Climbing to the top |
 |
| Lots of tunnels on the 70Km descent to the East Coast... |
 |
| Just cut through the rock |
 |
| Going through the Taroko Gorge…large overhangings |
 |
| Certainly a spectacular route |
