Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching!

Both hurt! 😅 The suffering on Sierra is longer. Quimby is shorter but steeper. Pick your pill, the Red or the Blue pill ?😅

Can you send me a message to [email protected] ? I’ll send you the Strava route

Hi, I emailed you too

Thanks for the encouragement and good words. I heard of the Lost Coast trails. Must be fun cycling that route in a multi-day tour. 😊

Mtn biking with that kind of road distance is not fun. I’m also a mtn biker. 30 miles of mtn biking is already plenty 😅

Thanks but no coffee ride anytime soon because I’m not in training for Ironman 😅

Thank you for the encouragement! Appreciated!

Your hometown is near the reservoir , that’s a very beautiful place. The mountains and the cycling route there is so beautiful. It’s a good training place for cycling as well.

@@imdragonslayer I like your videos especially for biking. Please continue to share your interesting videos. Thanks!

@@hung-yiyang3879Thanks for the encouragement. Will do !

Well. Some people‘s skin type can get tanned and dark very quickly and they don’t like to have too much tan especially they’re riding 8 hours under the sun every weekend. On other hand, some skin type never gets tanned no matter how sun they get , they just get sun burnt.

@@imdragonslayer Most of us use sunscreen. I've ridden bikes for forty years and have never seen riders wear full masks, although I mostly mountain bike these days. Seems like it would be really uncomfortable!

Don't want to catch COVID....lol

By diverse they probably mean bike manufacturers

We don’t have any regular places that we ride on a regular basis. Some of the places are Mtn Hamilton , Canada Rd, Mt Diablo, Tunitas Creek, Page Mill Rd, Kings Mtn Rd, Mtn Umunhum, Santa Teresa Blvd

@@imdragonslayer I’ve been all those places. So do you meetup every week? Saturday or Sunday? What time?

⁠we ride on most Sundays. Tomorrow we will ride from Woodside townhall to end of Canada Rd at 7:00am. And do repeats. It will be a training ride rather than a social ride.

Thanks. Where are you located ? We haven’t done another relaxing coffee ride for a while. Now that we are in training mode for some tri-athletic events. This Sunday morning at about 7am, we will be riding on Canada Rd doing repeats from Woodside to the end of Canada rd and back.

@@imdragonslayerouch! Serious training, I guess if you’re going to do the death ride🥵

@@lynndevos2278I’m not doing the DeathRide this year but some of them are !

Thanks Simon. An incredible experience

Thanks for sharing your experience at Wuling. It was really hot and humid and the temperature stayed high even at high elevations. It only started to cool down as it was getting close to sunset time. Heat and humidity sucked the energy out of the body. Wow. You started from Taipei ! That’s a long ride before arriving at the base of the mountains.

Thanks for the info. You mentioned the Giant rental store in Taipei in the Day 1 vid. You said you had to reserve 7 weeks in advance. Did you send them your stats in reach, stack, stem length, bar width, saddle height/offset when you made the reservation? So were they able to accommodate fitting out your desired bike size to your exact measurements(swapping out stem, bar, seatpost etc)? The thing is if I have to suffer that much, I want to make sure my rental bike is properly fitted just like my own bike at home. $200 a week for a TCR Pro is incredible. Shipping a bike on an international flight cost more than that. I probably would only do this type of cycling tour in Oct when it's cooler and dryer.

@@shaun4787​​⁠I didn’t send them my spec. The technician fitted me to the bike on the day of pickup and that took about 30 mins. Excellent services they’ve provided. Next time I’ll bring my own seat and have them to install it.

Thanks for taking the time to write. Now that we had done this ride , I’m 100% agreed with all of your comments and suggestions. 😆. The original plan was aggressive and we didn’t plan to ride 12 hours a day. We couldn’t had skipped the city by hopping into the minivan and drove to the base of the mountain. The weather was terrible that day.

No kidding. The biggest rain and thunderstorm I’ve experienced in person. If that’s in California, there would be mudslides everywhere.

I’m glad that this video has inspired you to do it. Let me know how you like this route after cycling it. Have fun !

Glad it was helpful! Have fun and good luck !

No coffee ride is planned in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for asking 😊

Great job! Training is hard work

Yeah. I think it’s worth a Bart ride down here , getting off at the Berryessa Station. It’s a very popular route on weekends. Start early in the summer days.
