You're lucky to have completed this route before the earthquake. The road to Taroko has been damaged. Thank you for recording its beautiful scenery.

Do you think the KOM challenge on October will push through? I was planning to join this year but then heard the news about the earthquake.

I have been following your adventures for a while. Great to see you made it to Taiwan to ride some of the world's best climbs.

thank you so much :)

I’ve ride this route once and it’s really incredible. Unfortunately, the route is destroyed by earthquake early this month. It’ll need a couple months for engineering team to fix it and I guess the road surface will not be as good as how it was for this year. So if you want to have an incredible climbing experience, start planning now for May to early October in 2025. The best seasons to do this!🎉

Very lucky to do it before the earthquake. I did the KOM in 2018 it was epic! Well done! The last 10km is a absolute killer

thank you :) yes really lucky to see this beautiful place

You are a wonder woman for such an epic climb.

Just incredible!! You guys rock!

Yeah that was definitely an Amazing Trip you folks had there .. and bloody Hard work ❤

Thank you for sharing the scene with us.

👏Well done! The tour is awesome! 👍

Welcome to Taiwan! I am so glad to watch you challenge the KOM! Wish you did enjoy that.

As fun to watch as it was to ride with you!

I’d been planning to experience Taiwan KOM climb but didn’t go as plan due to various reason. What a epic experience you had. Enjoy and keep safe all the time.

Awesome video. This is on my list of climbs I want to do along with Alto de Letras.

Great effort!

Simply amazing!

Very beautiful area!!!

Awesome effort…still to be checked off my bucket list! Here’s a rather pleasant idea: give Hawaii a go! You have Haleakala on Maui and Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the Big Island. All are 3,000m+ climbs!

有人說: 現在不做 以後就會後悔 恭喜你們在403花蓮地震之前， 1月25日完成這一次 ， 成功的KOM 挑戰，😀😀👍👍 因為下一次 不知道多少年後才能夠， 挑戰kom

Great climbing great climbers a great climb thank you loved the video

@@Buzzalong.cycling Hey, Buzzalong, be careful, you might not want to leave! Taiwan can do that to you. I came to Taiwan for 2 weeks in 1990 and I'm still here, it's a great place to live and ride. There are other countries in this area, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore etc, that appeal more to tourists and while they're great places to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.

WOW !!

Impressive. You're a machine!

Welcome to Taiwan and glad you had a great ride. Pronunciations: Hualien = Hoo-ahh-lee-en Wuling = Woo-ling It’s always great to see those living outside Taiwan coming here to enjoy our amazing roads, scenery and hospitality. I feel fortunate to live in this amazing country each day - especially those where I’m on my bike climbing our many many epic climbs.

Your def Queen of the mountain

Amazing, lovely scenery, what would you say is your go to snack for long rides (not haribo) 🚲💯👍😍x

Your videos are nicely narrated. It looks really steep on the last section above 2500m. What is the easiest gear you have? 34/36? Congratulations on making it to the top in time!

cool

My wife 😂❤ good luck 😘😂

10,000 feet! You're so macho. I cry if I have to climb more than 2000 feet. What kind of gears were you running?

Highly recommend you to try a 9 days bike trip around the island of Taiwan!!!

@@Buzzalong.cycling Thanks! Got it.

the altitude sounds killer, as the video goes on i can hear the riders become winded like they aren't catching their breathe in the little air.

Happy for you ever been there when you still got the chance. It's now even impossible to get to the 7-11 where the big climb officially starts in your video. We don't know when this route and scenary can be recovered and open to the public again after the earthquake happened earlier this year. Landslides have destroyed big parts along the route all the way to wuling and killed some people, and I personally believe it may take at least several years from now to fix partial roads, trails, and so on.

No doubt it will take time but have faith in our incredibly engineers and construction workers that the route will be open again in the not too distant future. I had the privilege to ride part of this route the week before the quake. I can’t wait to complete it in full once the road reopens. Thank you to the heroic construction workers and engineers who make Taiwan’s roads so awesome.

87 km all the way up….ehhhhh…..errmmmm….I don’t know….perhaps next time…😂😂😂….with a 30t chainring and 52t cassette..I reckon I can make it..in about 2 weeks give or take..😂

I did it as well in 2023 but think Mauna Kea is still harder

Taiwan is a fully developed country with a world class healthcare system. You’ll be fine!

The doritos are in competition with the haribos. Doritos didn't want to climb above 2500 m. But haribos make cyclists cooked at 3000m. And donuts flatten out in bags. Local pork cakes make sure to get the top of Wuling, don't they ?
