註1: 若東北季風太大，北上路線可能在苗栗後龍棄海線改走內陸縱貫公路，經新莊轉關渡至淡水再回到海線(北濱公路)到基隆。]
[
註2: 第五天(10/14,星期二)的100公里蘇花公路，將是景觀最壯麗的一段路，但也是體能和安全的最大挑戰，聽說是爬不完的陡坡和很多與砂石車爭道的陝窄遂道...]
[
註3: 看體能狀況及路上風景，全程可能調整成8天或10天]
*車隊成員: 自己一人(所謂"單騎")

The Plan:
*Lauch date/time: 2008/10/
10(Friday) , 06:00 AM (
Original plan was to launch on 10/04. It's postponed due to weather condition - heavy rain in forcast for 10/05~10/07)
*Planned completion date/time: 2008/10/18, 5:00 PM ~ 6:00 PM back to the launch location (entire trip will take me 9 days)
*Location for launch: near Tainan City Hall
*Route: Starting by heading north-bound from Tainan (i.e., clock-wise), mostly on coastal road, total mileage is about 1200 kilometers (750 miles).
*Itinerary: Day 1 Tainan to Lukan (143km), Day2 Lukan to Guanyin (140km), Day3 Guanyin to Keelung(107), Day4 Keelung to Su-Au (99km), Day5 Su-Au to Hua-Lien(100km), Day6 Hua-Lien to Tseng-Kong (122km), Day7 Tseng-Kong to Da-Wu (111km),
Day8 Da-Wu to
Kenting (96), Day9 Kenting toTainan(154km)
[
Note 1: If the NE wind is too strong on the first 3 days, the north-bound route may be changed from coastal roads to inland.]
[
Note2: The 100 km on the Su-Hua Coastal Road on Day 5 will be the most challenging yet rewarding on this 9-day ride. To cyclists, the breathtaking cliff/ocean view on the Su-Hua coastal road comes at the cost of endless uphill climbing and numerous dim and narrow tunnels with traffic of heavy trucks.]
[
Note 3: Depending on my physical condition and how attractive the scenic places are, I may adjust my itinerary by one day shorter or longer.
*Team: me, one person riding alone
