We’ve gotten around to finally opening our new cafe. Breakfast, simple food during the day and BBQ, Hotpot, and local food in the evening. Draft beer, smoothies, recovery drinks.
我们的新餐厅终于正式开放，供应早餐，简单的全天餐食，烧烤，火锅及本地农家菜。并且还推出了生啤，蛋白质奶昔及健康饮料。
Also, we’ve gotten in a bunch of rental bikes. Some Specialized Fat Boys to explore the area and some simple mountain bikes for cycling around some of the local paths and villages.
并且我们还配备了几十辆的单车可供出租。有特别的胖胎车适合骑行挑战及一些基础款山地车可在当地的山野小径或村子内骑行
We’ve also updated our cycling webpage for easy download of all the local routes.
Some of the main route locations near us. 我们周边有一些主要路线地点

Renovation of old and new houses are underway for Wildhomestay in Yingchuan. Soft opening will take place in April with the full opening in May. Eating options will be limited to start but we will keep adding during the year. 野趣乡居在英川的装修工作正在进行中。计划4月将试营业，5月正式开张。将会有一个正式的餐厅，计划5月底开张，餐厅开张前会配置简单餐饮。
We have selected various houses in the south west of the village along the hills paths, away from the noise, in the old area of town. 我们的房子位于一个古老的村子边缘，背靠着几座小山和竹林。
这就是我们的小村庄-英川。四面小山环绕，可以在茶园，核桃树之间享受徒步和山地车骑行。
This picture shows most of the houses we are renovating. For example, the old houses in the center with the red door (and the one next to it) will be our new cafe and the area around it converted to our outdoor lounge. The large house to the left we are renovating to a 20 person house. The box house in the north our yoga house, various others are also under renovation and we hope to be able to sleep around 60 people in total.
这些都是我们正在装修的房子，将来可以容纳65人。
2018野趣乡居又选新址，山村新民宿筹建工作已全面启动，更会增设和开辟更多的山地车道、徒步慢跑等多条新线路。感谢大家对我们一直以来的关注，请通过博客，微信公众平台等渠道持续了解我们的最新进展。
Small push before Chinese New Year for Wildhomestay. Some new houses leased, simple conservation & renovation, another village area, planning mountain biking, a large bike shed, a little farming, some great running trails and nature walks. Excited to be moving on with the project again. Many thanks to our guests and supporters and we will send updates through the usual channels.
Wildhomestay was very pleased to host the 2017 Nearly World Championships by Serk. 野趣乡居有幸能主办Serk的2017年度业余骑行赛
Prerace 赛前准备
People came in from Beijing, Suzhou, Shanghai, Hanghzhou, Guangzhou and various other places around Asia to ride in the one-day “Amateur Challenge Fun Race”. The race is based nearly around the Cycling World Championships with various fun and interesting twists. Riders age, weight and various other aspects are taken into account and a handicap is given to each rider staggering their start time. This means people can compete regardless of how much beer they drink or how old their legs are!
Most people arrived late Friday. We were very lucky with the weather, the stars were out and we ended up in two camps at Daxiyuan / Wildhomestay and Daming Mountain. 7am start!
选手来自北京，苏州，上海，广州及其它亚洲不同地区，共同集聚参加为期一天的业余挑战赛。这场比赛赛制接近自行车的世界锦标赛，又会更有趣和特别。 车手的年龄，体重和其他各个方面都被考虑在内，据此设定了每个选手不同的出发时间。 这意味着各种不同水平的骑手可以站在同一起跑线上进行公平的竞争。
大多选手周五晚间抵达。赛事期间的天气非常不错，可以看到满天的繁星。选手分别住在大溪源的野趣乡居和大明山顶民宿。周六早上7点比赛拉开序幕。
The Race 赛事
The men’s race was about 80km with a 30+km hill climb ending in the top of Daming Shan along the south route. The women’s race was about 60km ending up a 25+km hill climb along mostly the classic north accent to the top of Daming. Due to the caricature of some of the road surface and the long climb it ended up being a challenging race with quite a few people bonking on the way.
男子组赛程为80公里，其中包括了30公里以上的上坡骑行直至大明山顶。女子组赛程为60公里，包括25公里以上的上坡骑行。由于一些路面崎岖不平及长时间的攀登，最终成为一场具有挑战性的比赛，有很多人在过程中有不适。
Post Race 赛后颁奖典礼
Riders met at Wildhomestay for a post-race ceremony and bbq.赛后参赛选手在野趣乡居参加了颁奖典礼和BBQ活动。
Sunday 周日
A relaxed Sunday recovery ride was had by a few of us and people made their way back home by plane, train, bus and car. 周日一部分选手参与了一段恢复性的骑行。然后各自返程。
