Taiwan is the cycling secret that wasn't supposed to leak. A small island with the highest paved road in East Asia, a coastline that runs hot and flat for 200 km, and a road-cycling culture that takes its bike-friendly bus rules very seriously.
We've been running this loop since 2011. Marco's a one-time pro who knows every café, every climb, and exactly which day to start so the weather stays on your side.
