Ride 30 – Liulimiao Loops

This week we will ride the scenic and quiet roads around Liulimiao. We will ride a route that incorporates the Laowai World champs course so you get a chance to test ride it.
Everyone will start in Liulimiao. Beginners will do the 50km Worlds course, intermediate add on an additional 30km with an out an back along the gorgeous 310 Miyun Baihe Valley road. Elite’s will an in an extra concrete climb along this road.
We are having some technical VPN issues this week so the Intermediate and Elite routes below are not 100% accurate – the descriptions give you the general idea.
Please note if you have a ride pass your unused rides will expire at the end of December. We have approximately 10 more Serk rides left for the year (no rides in the Oct holiday). We will ride all the way to the end of December if there is demand but it starts getting pretty cold from the second half of November so if you have lots of rides left start using them now !

A super nice route. Very quiet with gentle climbs. A nice ride to try for newbies !

Its much better to start out on the easier ride and then move up rather than start on the faster ride and find yourself getting dropped and left behind.

Ride the Baihe Valley road 310 from Liulimiao and then head down to the Baihe river and loop back around to Liulimiao for one lap of the Worlds Course. Please note map above only shows the worlds course – detailed info coming later in the week.
