The cool weather has arrived but that’s no reason you cannot have a lot of fun indoors and out! Try some of our new games, go on a local flattish ride and a perfect time to hike the lower hills.


Our first Tanqi learning weekend with the Shanghai Cycling Girls group seemed to go well. For next year we hope to expand this to a few weekends spread over the year, divide into smaller groups and not only aim it at ladies :)…. The goals will remain the same; developing riders confidence and fun while cycling in hilly areas and seeking out adventure on the bike!

A fantastic day out running around the hills at the start of the hickory picking season. Many thanks to Leigh and Peter for making this happen along with Terrex for the support and awards…


Many thanks to the participants and partners for the following photographs.

Extremely pleased this happened all considered and very lucky with the weather, air and everything else. Some serious climbs, some challenging downhills, too much food, not nearly enough photographs, and a great adventure through a well marked course in rural Anhui! Lessons learned, improvements to be made and looking forward to the 2022 Challenge Series. Details to be announced soon.
Very Well done to the challenge and award winners and many thanks to our partners for the great prizes.
Hoka provided some great shoes and Wildhomestay some free weekend & Tanqi cycling experiences.

Also thanks to Norbu Naturals for their wonderfully fresh jerky and Namedsport for their hydration mixes along with Therabody for their recovery aids.
