Cloud Climber Tours are a group of riders who are passionate about cycling around Northern Taiwan's undiscovered hills and valleys. Also as you may have gathered from our name, we love climbing mountains. We are now ready to share all the secret routes with fellow enthusiastic cyclists - be them road or mountain bikers.

David is another inspiration to our team as his eccentric approach and knowledge around the mountains is essential.

And the following are a selection of photos from extra special rides which vary in difficulty from:

Easy Routes (traditionally around 50-75km or less) of mostly-flat-riverside-based rides. Beautiful routes for everyone to enjoy (which are aimed at riders who are newer or who may like a more relaxing ride) that may include some smaller rolling hill type climbs, but nothing too serious.

Medium Routes (around 80-100km or less) rides that include lower-sloped mountain passes with rice paddy fields, stepped fields, temples and other stunning Taiwanese landmarks such as the North Coast scenic road. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/16407737

Expert Route rides are 100kmplus and are our specialty, that include all the major peaks around Northern Taiwan, Yangminshan, Datun Shan, Feng Guei Suei, as well as the lower sloped (GuanYinshan) but equally stunningly beautiful (and sometimes very challenging & steep) foothill climbs. For the serious rider, we can also arrange epic 8-hour long rides of 160km+ that include Wulai, Pinglin, Pingxi and beyond to Toucheng and Ilan...naturally 160km includes the return ride too as we like to enjoy the rides as much as possible.
