    Biking

    Hi pals,

    I heard that there are some biking (cycling) tracks in New Territories, where one can go and hire a bike for a day. There is one from Shatin to Tai Po along Tolo Highway giving overlooking Tolo harbour. Unfortuntely, these days heavy construction is going on in this area

    Can somebody point to some other cycling tracks in N.T. or elsewhere in HK?

    Would nebody be interested in such an event on any of the coming sundays?

    cheers

    Abhi - the Sha Tin race track, at least in the Sha Tin part of the woods, is perfectly fine. You can bike for hours by the river and then catch a dozen dimsums in the Star seafood floating restaurant.

    try cheung chau..you can take a ferry out there and rent cycles. there are some lovely beaches and a cave you can explore. great seafood restaurants and also some all day sunday brunches if you do go on a sunday!
    oh, and also, if you plan to enter the cave, its better if you carry some flashlights with you.

    Does anyone know of any track racing velodromes? It would be a death wish to ride my track bike in Hong Kong traffic.
