A very nice weekend of runs through Hickory and tea plantations, through forests and up and down the local mountains of Sanyang.

Many thanks to our supporters of the event: Lululemon for some great award prizes, Sanyang Town government for some great media coverage and Wildhomestay for hosting everything.

A special shout out to Leigh, Peter, Vincent, and Annie for all the effort planning, cutting and marking the trails.

Dirty

It was a epic course and an appropriate way to end the Dirty Cycling Challenge series. We’ve decided to stop our Dirty Challenges (this one also came with Dirty Water Stop and Dirty Noodles) after six years as nearly all our dirty is being concreted over and there does not seem to be much interest in a all-surface endurance gravel type races. We will still adventure out, get lost and explore the area, just in a different way and format. Thanks to all the participants and sponsors who have joined over the years.

Congratulations to the 2024 Dirty: Double Dirty Daming, Winners

Rapha A Day in Hell

A nice route hosted by Club100 for Rapha’s “A Day in Hell” worldwide event. One ride, held on the same weekend as Paris Roubaix around multiple locations worldwide in celebration of the cobbled classic. Riders pushed their limits and our route tried to be inclusive of different rider levels with a few tough off road sections and short steep sections. Cobbles were not tasted but the essence of a Day in Hell was with stunning local landscape, good coffee and cake enroute with a short water crossing and challenging sections.
