170km | 2 to 3 Climbs with optional steep | Good Road with a bit of gnarly at the end of the down hill of hill 1 and 2. Try the Clean Race Route for a few added steep sections. The the Easy Clean Reverse for a nice 150km or so and not serious steep parts.
There are a few other loops in there. There are also nice routes south to Qiandao Lake.
25km from Wildhomestay to the bottom of Daming. A nice ride there to the base with a drink and noodle stand. The climb is great and described as the Chinese Baby Mont Ventoux.
Daming Epic (from south). All the way from Wildhomestay, to just past the start of the climb, then down and around to Tunkou Hotsping. Then up from there all the way to the top – 32km uphill / 25km down to the noodle shop / drink stand and 25km home. 165km total. Bit more elevation than the classic.
Strava seems a bit wrong on this one – more like 3000m + however still tiring enough. Start West in Wildhomestay and cycle east stopping for lunch at the hot springs. Then head west saving Daming for the last climb and then back to Wildhomestay.
We normally go counter clockwise. Warm up, 1st x311 climb, not great surface on downhill through red rock (noodle stop), climb up lake, fast down back to car. 🙂
Another option is out and back but not including lake climb.
Umbrella wha to x311, down other end, around. Add Lake for 200km 3000m.
