Today's Ride 100320

Michael Turton invited me down to Taichung to ride some hills on my recumbent trike.  I don’t have that much experience with hills because there aren’t very many where I live.  I was looking forward to seeing how the trike climbed, with my new 26 tooth chainring.  I shot some video with my GoPro Helmet Hero Wide, video camera (visible on the front of my bike helmet) which you can see later on in this article.  Michael took this shot of me standing in front of a reservoir at the top of the hill we climbed.

Hui-chen and I attended the 2010 Taipei Cycle show.  As usual, this article isn’t meant to be complete coverage of the show, but rather an excerpt of stuff that we thought was interesting.

Hui-chen and I went to the TW-Bents warehouse last Friday, and we met with Walter and Kevin.  They had some new stuff to show us.

New Stuff From TW-Bents

The main star of the day is this new trike.  It’s a giant of a trike, built for larger, heavier riders.  The main feature of this trike (besides it’s size) is the material it’s constructed of.  This is an all-aluminum trike, and it is very light weight for it’s size.

There is a place that Hui-chen and I frequent in Kaohsiung, and we’d like to tell you about it.  The name is Western Cowboys Pub. You don’t have to be a Western person, or even a cowboy to appreciate this fine place.

This is the owner, Johnson, behind the bar.  Johnson’s knowledge of the finer things in life is impressive.  You can ask him about wine or whiskey, and chances are he’ll have it in stock, too.

Day 6, The Elephant Tower of Ban Na

Day 6 found us scrambling to get to the village of Ban Na before it was too late in the afternoon to hike to the elephant tower.  You may read about our first trip to Ban Na, here.

We began by negotiating with a taxi for a ride from Vientiane to the village.  3 years ago, Hui-chen and I took a taxi to Ban Na for 700 baht.  Today, the taxi driver said “2,500 baht.”  That was a crazy price so we began negotiating it down.  Finally he firmly settled on 1,000 baht.  The ride took about 1 hour including a stop for fuel and some snacks at a gas station/store.  When we arrived at the village it was late afternoon and everyone was outside relaxing.
