@Mark, yes, the original plan was to rent the bikes at Sun Moon Lake and ride to Sinchu, but I think the Giant store at Sun Moon Lake would not allow us to do that, so we have to rent it at Tanzi, Taichung and return it to the same place. Hopefully, next time, we can do Kaoshiong to Taitong through Kenting
day 2 continued... The purpose of this trip was bonding. I live in USA, my two brothers live in the Philippines and my sister lives in Taiwan. If we can make this a yearly tradition and connect the dots, we say we can say that we went around Taiwan on our bikes!
