Taking advantage of the day off after a make-up workday, CT crashed a ride with a friend's cycling team in the Miaoli mountain town, happily reuniting with old riding buddies not seen for a while. The route started from Dahu, delving into Miaoli's picturesque rolling hills, with autumn and winter seasonal orange-red maple leaves and dawn redwoods along the way. The group visited the majestic Liyutan Reservoir and the historically evocative Longteng Broken Bridge, then faced the endurance challenge of the continuous climb on County Road 130, grinding all the way to the highest point at Jiangmayuan to overlook the sea of clouds and mountain ridges. This joyful journey, combining scenic photo ops, hilarious interactions, and tough climbing, was full of the charm of cycling that brings smiles.
