About this event

Cycling: Tai Wai MTR to Tai Mei Tuk (Plover Dam) Difficulty Level: 2.5 out of 5 Distance: 50 km Time: 5-6 hours Bike Rental Fee: About 80-100 HKD for the Whole Day Description: This event is "geared" for individuals that enjoy cycling on fully-paved and bike-only paths (no vehicles). The only time we'll be on a surface with vehicles is when we need to cross the streets using the safety strips and the traffic lights. The plan is to cycle from Tai Wai to Plover Dam and back. The roundtrip course is 50 km. If you opt for a shorter distance (25 km), it is possible to leave your bike at the halfway point and then transport back to Tai Wai via bus. Important: It is your responsibility to select a bike that is a "right fit" for you and it is your responsibility to decide if you will be wearing a bike helmet. Some highlights: We'll ride along the bike path that hugs the Shing Mun River and continue riding along the coastline of Tolo Harbour towards Tai Mei Tuk and Plover Dam. What to bring: • 2 liters of water (water available for sale along the way) • Snacks to eat along the way (sandwich, fruits, nuts, etc) • Comfortable shoes • Sunglasses • Headgear (cap/hat) • Sunscreen • Bug Spray • In case of Rain: plan accordingly Toilets: There are plenty of toilets along the way. Stores: There are several cafes along the way and at the halfway point there are full-service restaurants where we can all sit down and enjoy our lunch. Meeting Point: Tai Wai MTR Station - Exit A Time: 10:00 am (SHARP) IMPORTANT: Out of respect to the members that arrive on time, we will only be able to wait a maximum of 5 minutes. Should you arrive after 10:05 am, I will no longer be answering phone calls or responding to messages as I need to give my time and attention to those that have arrived on time.
