Along the way
A bigger stretch circle with support vans behindTouching toes together before the rideThe full pack rolling out onto the roadThree friends sharing a laugh on the roadRows of bagged fruit trees in an orchardThe pack crossing a bridge over the valleyRiding across the bridge in the morning sunA wide gravel riverbed cutting through the valleyRiding the levee path beside the rice paddiesA wide valley view, mountains mirrored in still waterResting a chin on the handlebar, all smilesRice paddies framed by old stone wallsA wide view over the valley's patchwork fieldsRice heads swaying under a stormy skyA close look at ripening rice grainPosing with the bike in a rice fieldRice paddies stretching toward the mountainsLunch break on a stone wall above the rice fieldsA boxed lunch enjoyed beside the rice fieldsA portrait before the day's ridePeeking over a pair of rainbow-lensed shadesThe pack cresting a hill under building storm cloudsA thumbs up with the storm rolling inA smile before the rain arrivesA shaka sign under darkening skiesA wave from the hilltop stopPressing on as the sky darkensA masked rider pausing on the ridgeAnother rider braving the coming rainCapturing the moment with a helmet camTaking in the mountain view aloneFive friends posed together above the valleyGoofing around on the stone plazaThe group jumping for joy togetherThe Dongli Cycling Station signPosing at the Dongli Cycling Station signA lone tree beside the rice-field roadStorm clouds building over the rice fieldsThe group closing in beneath the treesA striking temple deity statuePaying respects at a roadside templeThe group gathered in a lantern-strung temple courtyardA giant woven gorilla sculpture in the rice fieldsThe Cycling Route No. 1 sign pointing the wayA close selfie with a fellow riderA peace sign above the reservoirThe 'Bears Enjoy Riding' mascot sign
