We’ve decided it best to give an even greater notice for our upcoming countryside rides. So, with 3 weeks until the next one, here is the plan for our greater tours of the Sichuan countryside.
June 11th we’ll be hosting our Ziyang Reservoir Ride. This ride, stretching the roughly 70km from Ziyang (资阳) to Taiping Village (太平镇) just to the south of Longquanyi (龙泉驿). Mostly flat with some small hills, this ride passes by the beautiful Sancha Lake (三岔胡) before one final climb and descent to the finish. The registration deadline is June 8th.
June 25th we’ll be hosting our Renshou Ride. This ride is just short of 70km stretching from Renshou to Ziyang. South of the Longquan mountain range, expect mostly flat terrain with a few slight rolling hills as we wind our way through the countryside. The registration deadline is June 22nd. Read more

It’s super high altitude makes for tough riding, but the city itself is mostly flat and is perfect to ride around. More photos and info about our trip is up at Source Cycles.
