Rides | June Countryside Rides
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.
Both of these rides will be handled the same as before. We’ll provide transportation to and from the start and finish. We will also provide water, snacks and lunch after the ride. Departure will from from the shop at 8 a.m. the day of. Please arrive beforehand so we can safely load your bicycle.
More specific information for each ride will be published two weeks in advance. Per ride, the fee for registration is ¥240. If you’re in need of a bicycle, we offer rentals for an additional ¥100. Any participant’s cancellation must be made before the appropriate registration deadline. If a cancellation is made after the registration deadline, the registration fee is forfeited and will not be returned.
The ride will continue as planned despite the weather. Only in the event that the weather poses a safety risk to participants will the ride be cancelled.
That said, get ready for a month of great riding and exploring the beautiful countryside surrounding Chengdu!
