The ride started with a cool morning. The temperature dropped to only around 20 C. There was still some NE wind from 新豐 to 楊梅, but not as bad as yesterday. Still lot of up-hill climbing in 楊梅. The NE wind disappeared after entering 桃園 county. When entering 新莊 from 龜山, the earlier climbing got rewarded by a long dash downhill, where my highest speed reached 45km. Starting from that point, things just got better and better. Mild NE wind, even on 北濱. Starting tomorrow it's all 順風 ride! (Except the 恆春落山風 on the last day back to Tainan.. that I will worry later :)
Again this is a brief post. I will re-post a full version later with more 心得報告 and photos. 往後幾天沒有逆風，希望能有多一點時間寫我的blog. For now, here are some highlights from today:
埔心車站
苦盡甘來...
到了美麗且具有里程意義的關渡。往下的路程就沒再被東北季風給折騰了 :)
淡水捷運站
在熟悉的淡水捷運站附近逗留了一個多小時，背景是淡水河和觀音山
石門鄉, 這裡是我這次單車環島公路最北點，也是台灣公路最北點，當然也是我離台南的同事和單車同好最遠的地方。嗯，有點想大家了...
Denys in 基隆
(明天行程: 基隆 到 蘇澳)
