Tomorrow I am going for a relax cycling holiday in Taiwan, visiting friends near the Tai-Chong area. I’ve been exploring Taipei by using a combination of MRT and my folding bike, but this will be the first time I am going to cycle across several towns entirely on bike. A tips from my friend – www.urmap.com, this site is really cool if you want to plan a cycling trip. It’s got large road maps (in Chinese) and satellite images and it’s free. I manage to “screen capture” my entire route at the detail level and assemble them into a huge map. Having the printout of my entire route is a great reassuring factor for places I’ve never been before. The other good one is bikely.com as mentioned in this post, they’ve got more detail satellite images.

You can even see the elevation of the entire route, (seems a bit challenging at 8km : )
