Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan is one of those tourist destinations that always makes the brochure. When the weather behaves, it’s a perfect sapphire blue, flanked by lush green hills. As part of a media tour organised to promote the Taipei International Cycle Show, a select group of the bike industry’s most influential journalists was invited to ride around it. And so was I.
- The course: 33kmkm around Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan, which turned out to be more like 27km
- Equipment goals: Goals? We don’t need goals where we’re going
- The horse: Giant Rapid flat-bar hybrid, heavily used, likely abused
Our ride was arranged by Giant Adventure, the leisure arm of the world’s biggest bike company. Giant Adventure promises to take care of all the hassle on your cycling expeditions, whether that means fixing your punctures or supplying some tunes.

With that in mind, I did the sensible thing and went full roadie, barring flat shoes, as I’d been warned there might be a little bit of walking. If in doubt, always go full roadie.
This is close enough
