Started just before 6am.
The 5km before joining Route 199 was a steep gradient of over 10%.
It was quite disheartening.
From Route 199 onwards, the climb was fairly gentle.
I arrived at Kotobuki Pass at 9:30am.
I started descending from there, with small ups and downs along the way.
I took a break at a small shop in Daren.
After joining Route 9, the road was quiet for a while.
There were hardly any cars, except for the occasional cyclist on a circumnavigation of the island.
I finally found a convenience store when I returned to Route 9.
There were no convenience stores at all yesterday.
I checked into a hotel in Dawu at 3pm.
A group of three senior German cyclists had arrived earlier.
It was not a long day but hill climbs and heavy head wind knocked me down.
*Today's Distance: 28.2km
Total Distance from Taoyuan: 517kmkm
