Ride Description: Second metric for the year already! Headed back out toward the zoo, found a bike path that is newly finished, wasn't on the right part of it, so it dead-ended for me.
No worries, I got off onto the street, went toward the zoo, and chatted with three Chinese bikers who were headed to Maokong. I went that way for a bit, but then turned around and got onto a different bike path. It dead-ended, too, and once I got on the streets, I wasn't sure where I was, so I rode for about half an hour or so trying to find my way. I knew it was the wrong way when I saw the sign for Wulai and Ilan, so I turned around and found the Taipei sign. Kept on going the right way and eventually found my way back to exactly where I wanted to be.
It was a gorgeous day...blue sky, sun, warm enough to ditch both my jacket and arm warmers. Unfortunately the weather and Chinese New Year holiday brought many many bikers of all ages out to the bike paths. I decided to get off the path at the Grand Hotel and put up with street traffic the rest of the way home. This was a FUN metric! |
