Well deserved ride!

On the paper, from Shanghai to Zhutouling village hotel it is 3h30 by van.

On the paper only as we unfortunately experienced a kind of mishap after Shanghai exit toll...

The way back was slightly better with a 5 hours drive due to traffic jam and some works on the highway.

But this is not enough to discourage us!

We had a really nice weekend in a good guesthouse and with a perfect weather.

I look forward to being back there soon!!!

 

No major loops yet… but we are close to our goal!

Tianmushan area is very steep. We did the major part of our uphill rides by carrying our bikes on slipping single tracks.

We had a pretty small riders group. Our goal for this weekend was to discover new areas but also to identify a nice loop.

Each of us was fine with tracks hunting and we investigated a lot on the east side of our base camp.

We found nice places but unfortunately still no major loop...

In the end, we rode about 50km over the weekend with about 2200m elevation. Not so bad considering the hot weather!

 

Be ready for downhill!!!

I really appreciated this place. Riding potential is obvious and we really need to find nice great loops to vary pleasure (and minimize bike carrying...).

I did my geek and played a bit with some topo tools. I propose 3 loops for next ride in Tianmushan.

* The 2 east loops could still lead to bike carrying but their main interest is to benefit of nice downhill we enjoyed this weekend.

* The big west loop seems nice! Uphill ride is quite long but does not seem too steep. It should make us reach Tianmuchan summit and overall an amazing downhill!!!
