Taiwan: Tour de Formosa Behind the Scenes
Every bike race you see or read about is in fact only a part of what is actually happening. There is alot of behind-the-scenes stuff that the outside viewers don't get to see and there was plenty going on at the Tour de Formosa in Taiwan earlier this month. This was a Deaf Invitational Race for cyclists from all over the world and I was the sole representative from New Zealand to go without support like all the other teams present. This made life difficult in quite a few ways.

The previous posting on Riding with Your Wife was a very popular article and recently Jen and I tackled an epic ride from Taipei to Taichung – 185kms with a group from the 7th Park Bike Shop. From this ride, some additional tips emerged that are worth writing about. She managed to ride 120kms before [...]

This morning I had a great ride up through the Graveyard Route – the weather is looking good here again in Taipei and I took the opportunity to take some more good pictures. On the way home I had stopped to take a few pictures of the Taipei 101 building at a busy intersection – [...]

13 January 2010
Today was a cloudless sunny day, but was a cool 10 degrees and colder up in the mountains. I definitely rate the route I took today as one of Taipei’s best loops that is accessible to the city and boasts two decent 30 min plus climbs amidst some brilliant scenery. Part of this route was also used [...]

Taichung definitely has better weather than Taipei right now with its clear blue skies and warmer temperatures! I met with Colon Lai from Champion System Taiwan and he showed me the National Taiwan Championships circuit. It was a nice circuit, 10km with a punchy 5-6 minute climb. The road was super-smooth and goes through the [...]

I thought this would be a good post to write as I feel its pertinent to involve your wife (or girl-friend) in your cycling adventures, as long as she is a willing partner and enjoys the challenge of bike riding. Sometime ago I read a blog article on Riding with your Wife by Wade Wallace from [...]

27 November 2009
This was a ride I did over a month ago and only went part way up the mountain and had to turnback since I had run out of time. I was keen to re-visit this area again to do some exploration since it was off-the-beaten track and very scenic. Riding along the smooth cycle path [...]

25 November 2009
The sun came out today for the first time in a few days and was considerably warmer (26 degrees), so I took the opportunity late in the afternoon to go back up the Xiaogetou climb that I had done during the misty rainy weather this past Sunday with the 7th Park Bikeshop. Since I was [...]
