Grab a gravel or mountain bike and cycle up to around Xiaoxu village. A nice hard steady climb up from the main road to Xiaoxu village and then up the road there. Be careful on the way down!!! Some great views of Qingliangfeng but please dont go in the nature reserve buffer or core zone.
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.
Note: X311 being resurfaced – CX or Gravel or touring for now. 250km loop. Its a monster and you need to leave very early and maybe bring light. Various bail points.
Twin Peaks. 230 – 250km 4000m
A out and back. Get a car to longgang or bottom of x311. up and over two 900m climbs. Return. Taxi home.
