A little video I threw together of a ride in Tainan with some new friends at the time. It was a really fun place. Hope to go back one of these weekends.
There’s a large gathering of off-road guys in Kenting at the end of the year. Hundreds of riders join in on a “fun ride”. Though some take it more serious than others. This is a short vid of the beginning at the starting line. One of these days I’ll...
I rode several riverbeds over the winter. Thought I would put together a compilation video of them. I highly recommend a riverbed ride if you’re in Taiwan and have a bike and the time!

Ride Info This is a great group of scenic trails that doesn’t require a great bike unless you plan on hitting the riverbed. There are plenty of trails I didn’t try on this trip, which can be seen on google maps – if they can be believed. There’s a...
