Bicycle ride to Bali (not the island)

Bali in Taiwan? Yes, the small port village of Bali resides on the West bank of the Danshui river, opposite the more famous Danshui town. Taipei's bicycle trails are getting better. Now it's possible to ride all the way from our house to Bali and back.




Another rider on the trail... you don't see horses every day Taipei.


Vivian and Fiona couldn't make it on this trip. Once we get a bicycle trolley for Fiona, the whole family can hit the trails.




This Taiwanese farm house is about a hundred years old. Yes there are still people living in there.

Ken and Terry came along for the ride. We even managed to recruit the notoriously over-comitted Charles Lee to come out and join us mid-way on the trail! (he excused himself later to go back to his college and do more work)


From Bali we took a short ferry ride over to Danshui town, then caught the MRT back into the city. I could have ridden home, but I needed to get back faster. Even with the MRT ride shortening the distance, I clocked 41 km on my odometer that day.
