Today I had a late start. Left the house around noon. I’m not the get up early and quickly get going kind of guy. I like to take my time and leave when I’m ready. And as it happened, my son was sick the night before. I didn’t want...
I’m lying…it really won’t be an off-road trip… I’ve been planning to do a round island trip for a couple years now. That may sound strange. Taiwan is a small island with nice roads; you could easily circle it in a couple days or less if you wanted to....

Ride Info This is the second half of the Maolin Entrance Ride. After finishing that ride, cross the bridge and head up to the main road. Drive through town and keep going until you get to the fire station on the left. Just past it to the right is...
Ride Info This is the first part of a two or more part ride. I started the ride on the other side, near Lover’s Gorge waterfall. But I would recommend starting where I finished, at the trail head of Weiliao Mountain Trail (尾寮山步道). As you travel up you’ll first...
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...
