Our first Tanqi learning weekend with the Shanghai Cycling Girls group seemed to go well. For next year we hope to expand this to a few weekends spread over the year, divide into smaller groups and not only aim it at ladies :)…. The goals will remain the same; developing riders confidence and fun while cycling in hilly areas and seeking out adventure on the bike!
Many thanks for our partners for all the support helping make our challenges possible!

A warmer and sunnier day than expected full of punishing climbs, coffee stops and fun. Congratulations to all the participants and winners!
Gallery of photographs. Many thanks to the photographer and all our participants who provided the photos!
A long day on a epic cycling challenge. The last dirty of the 2021 season had kind of everything. Think the photos do a better sum up than us writing it.
Well done to everyone who started and who enjoyed the day! Well done to those that nearly finished, just finished and easily (impossible) finished to get top points!

Another gallery from YilanRyan 黄一澜. Many thanks for that. No so easy taking pictures while slipping down a hill!
And a few quotes from the day:
“Don’t stand up or the back wheel will spin”
“Sh@t that was steep”
“We love getting dirty”
‘Is this the end of the segment?!’
“So, that was the slippery road you were talking about…”
“do you have lights”
in my professional opinion its fu****
not another fu***** hill
not another fu***** cramp
this walk is wonderful
Doctor Justin!! /:,@P/:,@P
“is there another hill? Are you kidding me..?” hahahaa…how often have we heard this sentence [Facepalm]
the last part was worthy to call it real dirty gravel ride!
