Pingle Bamboo Loop

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Ride begins crossing rolling hills from west of Qionglai (12 km flat). Then we'll ride through Pingle, across the northern bridge to the Bamboo Sea (3 km flat). Entering a deep very narrow canyon the climb begins and continues at a steady grade for 7 km (2%? according to the web calculator), then kicks up to 4.5% for 2 km to the summit. For those who may not want to or can't complete the climb, the route is designed that a turn-around will take you back to Pingle our pick up point.</span>
