Intro

A shorter race on Saturday to end the season. One main climb and a few smaller climbs. Great views over Anhui & Zhejiang. Sunday morning we will also do a Santang Hill Climb Challenge for those who have some power left in their legs along with a recovery ride.

It used to be gravel! Now its paved!

Please understand these rides are not professional races but small scale amateur cycling challenges. To maximize social fun and minimize stupid behaviour points are given for various challenging segments. The rest of the day is meant to be spent riding and chatting in groups. Cool refreshments provided on-route along with a few fun awards. Please be realistic, these are not aimed at the beginner and are demanding, in amazing but challenging landscapes.

A stunning main climb!

If we have serious weather or health warnings it will be delayed.
