12 Nov 2015, 09:21 am
Taipei, Nov 12 (NITN): Organized by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, the Taiwan Cyclist Federation, the Taiwan Bicycle Exporters' Association, and the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration, the 2015 Taiwan Cycling Festival is being held from Oct 30 to Nov 22.
When it comes to the competitive Taiwan KOM Challenge, participants will climb from altitude zero at Qixingtan in Hualien to 3,275 meters at Hehuan Mountain; the route includes a great variety of amazing scenery, making this a unique extreme cycling challenge.
These sports activities not only challenge one’s stamina but also one’s strength.
Many cycling groups will depart from different locations around Taiwan at the same time and cycle around the island.
If you are not a professional cyclist, you can take part in the Sun Moon Lake Come! Bikeday tour held on 15 November, where you need to ride only about 30 km in a day. Alternatively, you can join a visitor or fan group for a trip and just enjoy the game.
