07-05-2013, 02:39 AMHi MCMers,
I've had my Benelli600 for a couple of months now and the longest distance I've been driven so far is from Shanghai - Huzhou - Shanghai, one day trip. Are there anyone that are interested in a weekend trip? I have no experience in roads, destinations, or what-so-ever in China. Back in Sweden I only had my bike to commute between home and work, never really did any road trips. Starting to do the same here in Shanghai, that's why I would like to make a longer trip and experience the real purpose of having a bike.
A few weeks back, during Dragon boat festival, I was planning a trip to Hangzhou. But that idea got thrown in to the trashcan rather quick when I found out that Hangzhou has issued a total ban for motorcycles in the city.
Any suggestions for a weekend trip? Can ride solo but it would be much more fun if someone would like to join, the more the merrier, right?
Best
Jackie

Hello Jackie -
Sure! I'm interested in setting up a few 2-3 day rides. Wanted to map our a few runs through JianSu / ZheJiang to start - pure county hwy kind of stuff if you're interested. If there is an established ride route, can follow that, or just follow the road and see where it goes. Just need another 5-10 days to settle out the details on my new plate and then am ready. I'll PM you my contact details if you're up to it.

i would suggest huangshan via the gang kou wan reservoir on country road x061 then highway 205 south to huangshan.

x 061 is about 100km like this pic
just dont cut the corners and watch out for the locals although not too many of them
about 1000km round trip
its always tempting to look at the map and make a loop , but in this case just turn around and go back the same way because hgwy 324 back east is s h i t .

For anyone interested in exploring rides around Zhejiang, including my base of Ningbo, Fenghua where there many numerous mountain rides and more, then hit me up. For those with no experience riding down this way, I'm willing to ride up and meet halfway around the Hangzhou bay area which has several bridges. I'm also able to supply a number of GPS co-ordinates of way-points from Shanghai down to Ningbo, as I've done the trip between the two locations multiple times over the years. The way-point co-ordinates might be useful for anyone who's not been far out of Shanghai, as I've also experimented with many various route options from the outskirts of Shanghai in my attempts to make the rides interesting - cause Shanghai and the surrounds aren't anything spectacular.

Thanks BD - I'll hit you up for those waypoints then as soon as I sort out a new GPS.

07-08-2013, 06:24 AMHi,
I also just moved to Shanghai and got a Benelli600 2 weeks ago. I would love to do a weekend trip, even if only a day trip from Shanghai to Zhejiang.
Anyone interested in riding this weekend, July 13 or 14?

07-08-2013, 06:56 AMI'm traveling this weekend, but it would be great to see a posse of 650NKs, 650TRs, Benelli 600s and Jialing JH600s sizing each other up! Count me in later in July or in August.
cheers
