China: Chengdu 65km Road Race
As my previous blog posting indicated, China has a large number of Amateur events scattered throughout the largest country in the world. Out of the five that was listed, I managed to attend two – one in Yiwu and the other in Chengdu. The event in Chengdu required me to take a flight from Hangzhou [...]

Yellow Mountain Mountain Bike Race If you are looking for a picturesque mountain bike race combining ancient villages and traditional Chinese countryside, then the Yellow Mountain event is the race that has it all.

5 April 2012
Specialized China kicked off their mountain bike series in Shanghai on April 2nd with a focus on racing 29er bikes. Since Format started with their inaugural 29er specific race in Guangzhou late 2011, the interest in 29er bikes has surged significantly and this has prompted Specialized China to host their own 29er MTB series in [...]

First ever 29er Mountain Bike Event huge Success On Xmas Day, I flew down to Guangzhou to participate in China’s inaugural 29er Mountain Bike event which I believe was a huge success and the future of the 29er here in China looks quite rosy.

21 November 2011
I went down to Shenzhen to take part in the 2011 Shimano Cycling Festival with two bikes in tow – a first for me! I had my Velocite Magnus road bike and an Orbea 29er mountain bike. It was manageable as I packed the road bike into the Scicon Aerocomfort Plus bag rolls very well, [...]

8 November 2011
The Suzhou 120km race sponsored by Look and Mavic was staged last weekend and 149 elite riders lined up on the start line in front of a good sized crowd. Apparently, the Chinese Cycling Federation have not yet banned radios from amateur level racing like most other places in the world! It was interesting to [...]

28 October 2011
In most stage races (with exception of Grand Tours), a 40km ITT is very long stage; especially when you have it at end of a three day short tour. In reality, the parcours at the Matabungkay Tour did not offer me many opportunities to use my killer sprint. I missed out on the key breakaways [...]

25 October 2011
The Tour of Matabungkay was an action-packed weekend for cyclists and I recommend this tour and any other stage race in the Philippines for those of you contemplating racing in new and exotic countries. The growth of cycling in the Asia region has been phenomenal over the last few years, but I think the Philippines [...]
