Taiwan KOM Challenge as epic as advertised

I like to climb. Even as a kid with my old five-speed Raleigh racer I always preferred the wind-swept hills of central Scotland hills to the flats. And since buying my first proper road bike in 2005 after moving to Singapore and becoming completely besotted with the sport of cycling, I’ve made almost annual trips to France to take on the classic cols of the Alps and Pyrenees.

Asia too has many epic climbs and I’ve enjoyed getting to know many of them over the years, but up until four days ago I’d somehow avoided Mount Hehuan, one of the highest peaks in Taiwan that in just a few short years has attained legendary status, in large part thanks to it hosting the Taiwan KOM Challenge.
