Introduction

I think biking is in our Chan's family blood stream.

In 2011, Ester, Milo and myself embarked a 5 day 156 km bike ride along the eastern coast of the beautiful island of Taiwan.

The next year, we invited our other brother Ivan and did another biking reunion.

We enjoyed the time off from work. We also enjoyed our reunion. It was reunion because I live in USA. Ester lives in Taiwan. Ivan and Milo live in the Philippines.

So it has been three years since our last trip. This year, Milo is celebrating his 50th birthday. He invited us for the ultimate biking experience in Taiwan. A 900 km or 600 miles bike ride around the island.

Even though I am not in the best of shape. I agreed to join. There was a popular saying in Taiwan about the bike tour. "There are things in life that if you do not do it now, it will not happen in the rest of your life." For me, at age 53, it is the best time to do it. There will be many reasons not to do it. But only one great reason to do. It is now or never!
