Steep Sections
A very nice loop with a climb at the end! 98% good tarmac with a little rough stuff by the gorge. Just go slow there.
Other options on the Rainbow Road.
1. An out and back to ShuizhuKun Village.
2. Rainbow Gorge Return and
3. Rainbow Loop.
A longer loop route. Can also add the gorge at the end of the rainbow road / north section if you want some extra KMs.
Still a work in progress. Need to think about the best way around for best morning and sunset light / views.
A smaller option but still not easy.
One of our big days. Yet to be done. The first rider in will get a special jersey! Lights required and don’t do during the summer heat. Wait until x311 resurfaced or take out double
Cycle down from Yingchuang, through Sanyang and then up to Gaoshan Village. Check out the old village area at the top. Then ride back again. Stop at Sanyang for lunch, the old street and some rural shopping.
If you want a bit longer than go from Gaoshan up to Jinchuan. The road surface is great and you pass through a few small villages. Fill up with water and explore around. Go for a hike in some of big hills in the area.
