Bike Ride Alone

My bike with saddle bags

During my 2 week break in Taipei, I was really bored and Grace's brother suggested that I do a bike ride from Hualian to TaiDong. 180Km and if I do it in 3 days that's going to be relax and interesting. I started from Hualian picked up my bike around 11am - by the time I reached the town I am supposed to stop for the night, it is only 1pm. I decided to go further to the next town, it is only 43pm. Oh well, it is only 9km to the next big town (later I realized it is only to the boarder of the county), I decided to go for it. That was a mistake because I actually biked for 15km up to the hill and by the time I reach the town it was around 5:30pm and raining. I found a small hotel and spent the night. I woke up very early the next day (didn't sleep very well) and set off around 6am. The weather was not that great and I can only keep biking. I reach Taidong around 3pm, biked for 95km and had a big lunch. I then decided to take a train back to Taipei that very night, my parents are both very happy because they didn't like the idea for me to bike alone to begin with.
