A weekend of Dirty Rides in around wildhomestay, Anhui, China
Date: August 20th 2022, 8am.
Type: Dirty – Whatever bike you want. Mixed Surfaces. On road, bad road, bit of off road.
Info: supported 86km Challenge with 1800m of climbing.
Its going to be a sweaty day on a reversed and slightly modified Frozen Cork Route. The day starts off with a relaxed ride through Sanyang with a climb up to the black hills (a bit of road construction so no segment). There is a crazy downhill on the bas*ard followed by a long and challenging up hill to another off road section on corks highway. From there a bit of up down followed by a stunning decent on reverse vlads. A few possible tweaks to the route will add some more fun taking you home to a well earned lunch.
These adventure riding challenges are small scale, half competitive and half social! Dirty Challenges are not single track or gravel races! They are a mix of all surfaces, mostly concrete, with some great hill climbs and a little off-road of all types. They get progressively harder throughout the season! Gravel, cx or hardtail mountain bikes are most suited but feel free to have a go on a road bike with 32plus tires. There will be timed stages that make for a safer and more social but still highly competitive and fun day out. Support and rest points provided en route. Events will be delayed if terrible weather or changes to the current covid situation make it unsafe to hold the event.
