The second in our series of social brunch rides for the year. This time we will be treated to the delicious fare of the stylish Chao Hotel in the heart of Sun Li Tun.

The Executive Chef of the Hotel (Ignacio Virgen) is a cyclist and has put together an excellent deal for day. Not only is the brunch 25% off the regular price but free flow house wine and soft drinks have been included. It's going to be a brunch to remember !

Chef Ignacio Virgen, is a well stablished and award winning chef who has worked in some of the finest kitchens in the world. He has worked under world renowned chef's who have helped him to craft and polish his creative and delicate technique that has amused palates all over the world. Starting his career under the lead of Chef Alain Ducasse in Monaco, passing to the rigorous kitchens of El Bulli and then serving as the personal chef of the Argentinian president Ernesto Kichrner he now finds himself in Asia. He developed the well-known Indonesian brand Potato Head in Jakarta, Bali, Singapore and Hong Kong and later achieved one of his greatest accomplishments by obtaining one Michelin Star with the Hong Kong Jockey Club. For the last two years, he has been developing his cuisine in China, first with Capella Hotels and Resorts in Nanjing and now in Beijing with CHAO Sanlitun Hotel.

Ignacio (also know as Nacho on the Serk Group Chat) will join us for part of the brunch and will share some stories and insight into the food we are being served.

In terms of the ride there are 2 options (actually these events are all about the food and the riding just gives you an excuse to eat more)

 

A. Meet at Serk and ride out to Laoshan for a few laps around the park.  Approx 80km

B. Meet at Serk and ride out along Changan Street and back Approx 43km.

This is a great event to bring a friend along to that might not be a hard core cyclist. The ride is flat and easy !
