location

Mentougou

This week's ride in Mentougou is a fair way to the West of the city. It's well worth the trip to explore these back roads. Parts of the course are on narrow concrete roads and travel through villages that seemed to have completely stood still in time. The mountains are still bare and combined with the rocky cliffs in the area create a magnificent backdrop.

The B and C riders will ride the same course however the C riders will be driven the first 15km in the vans.  A riders are exploring some serious backroads that are a bit rough so bring your titanium bike!

A+ is the B route plus a nice ride back to the city via the backside of Miaofengshan.
Please note A+ is an unsupported ride - you'll need to navigate yourself and bring along all the spare you'll need and be self sufficient.

ALL RIDES THIS WEEK INVOLVE SOME ROUGH ROADS SO BRING EXTRA TUBES.
