新北市五股鄉觀音山 - 從凌雲路上山

Supplies: Starting from the intersection of Cheng Tai Road and Ling Yun Road, ride along Ling Yun Road for less than two minutes, passing FamilyMart and 7-Eleven.

Terrain: Although it's an uphill ride all the way, more than four-fifths is gentle slope. And the remaining one-fifth? That's steeper! These steeper sections appear occasionally, making you push hard for 30 seconds to a minute before they end. With regular training, these steep parts can be tackled easily—usually a few strong pedal strokes while standing get you through! After passing the Ling Yun Zen Temple halfway up, the frequency of steep sections gradually increases. The mountain isn't high, but with spirit; the slope isn't steep, but with training it feels fairly flat.
