2021 Yepao Recap

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.

2021 Fastest Female: YipingG – 5h58m – 27km (new course record)

Stream Walk

An area we are exploring. Get a van there and walk along river or ebike / mtb there. Walk down the stream / paths and explore around the side streams and fields. Also walk up to the ridge and the fire lane on the mountain that runs to the West of it, great views and connects to the horseshoe route.

The drive / ebike / mtb bike to the start of the walk. Ends in a village where you start hike.
