I’ve never explored the East coast North of the bike park, so that was our plan.
Uuuh… Actually we rode almost 55km, and that, that wasn’t part of my plan! hehehe but was good for my legs! (see the green track on the map hereunder)

I’m not used anymore to ride long distances, with big wheels, on almost flat roads… Anyway, the fact that I was riding with Thibaut motivated me. For him, it was a piece of cake for sure! You can have a look at his blog: http://desroutesquimontent.blogspot.com (censored in China…), and so you will understand that he is a crazy guy! For instance, 100km rollerskating uphill in one day doesn’t scare him!

So, we started our ride along the lake, heading North. The small roads are composed of smooth concrete plaques, and the larger roads are made of quite good tar.

Sunny weather, didn’t wear t-shirt all the day!

请勿嬉水 (qǐng wù xī shuǐ): Please don’t play with water = Don’t close with water
Good advice for the people parking their yacht here.

We’ve discovered a nice new road towards 冲山村 (chōng shān cūn).

It was also the first time I saw sailboats on Tàihú, I mean navigating ones.









 
 
Here are all the pictures and a slideshow.

。地图在这个网页下面），应该也合适做轮滑速降。
我的朋友美女（他是男的）借给我们他的车子，所以我们周日早上5点半离开上海市区向清凉峰出发。

3个半小时以后我们到了马啸，我们吃颜色缤纷的面条，然后开始车上去华浪线：差不多20公里一直上坡到1300米的海拔。从马啸到上面，路面不错，合适做轮滑速降。你们可以看在下面的照片他们在修这条路。

华浪线上去到一个关口，然后开始下去。在那个关口，有沙子和小石头挺合适山地车（看橙色区标志在我地图上）。

在这里有一条小泥土路上去太子尖山顶，然后一直波峰沿着。我们停车在关口：温度很低，差不多12度没有风的话。我们没有带很多衣服所以感觉很冷！结果是我一个人爬山到山顶哈哈 在那里，风景很漂亮，很大的云在我下面，上去，过山，很多风。。。

应该合适徒步旅行和山地车在波峰沿着。下次要去调查（就是那个橙色线在地图上。应该开在Google Maps或者Google Earth，因为谷歌地图的位置不对，让这个GPS路线在不正确的地方）。

后来我们回来在华浪线上，准备做轮滑速降向源头村。那个录像就是那个下坡。有差不多10公里下坡。路面不是非常好，但是还可以。所以速度没有这么快，新手也可以欣赏风景。我拍照了这条路从太子尖山顶：

以后，我们打算去安徽省。可是我们的汽车马上没有汽油，所以需要加油。问题是太子尖附近，没有加油站。。。到了18省道，我们问一下在哪里可以加油：一个人告诉我们可能可以在龙岗的方向。所以我问他：可以还是他不知道？他回答他其实不是本地人。。。我决定这个人不知道呵呵呵。 所以我们再问一下一个人在旁边的酒店工作。他说有一个小加油站5公里在西边的方向。我们决定开车过去。在这个时候我们真的马上没有油。。。到了那个小加油站，服务员说没有93！所以我们问他在哪里附近有。回答：没有！！！其实他指出有一个小的，但是应该回来我们来的路，开车差不多25公里！没有别的办法，所以我们掉头。我们下列25公里有很大的压力。。。终于我们成功到了那个小加油站！而且他们有93！他们带来两个喷壶。价格跟一般的加油站差不多一样。我在我地图上标明这个位置，可能你们会需要

我们浪费很多时间跟这个事，所以我们快去浙江呼日村，然后走一条小路向安徽。到了关口，就是安徽省。从那里，路面开始不好，所以下坡到梅村真的不合适做轮滑速降。无论如何，我们备注有一条小泥土路一直下去从关口到马头岭脚，所以我们决定骑山地车下山。而且我们之前问了一个农民人这条泥土路是不是去马头岭脚。他说是去。可是我们发现这条路是很隘，而且是僵局的路。。。所以我们花一个小时下去在森林里和田地里。。。不好玩。但是我们试过了呵呵呵
晚上6点钟到了，我们放自行车在我们汽车外面后面和回去上海。
 
 
这里有所有的照片和两个相片秀。
 
 
道谢：
梅帮助我改正第一个段和第二个段。从第三个段到这里你们可以再识别我的自己的中文！！！

就这一次我没有需要两个月为放一些活动的照片在我的博客上面

上个周末8月22日23日梅请我们玩滑翔伞跟她的朋友一刀和其他温州朋友们。
他们选择浙江永安山因为这个地方挺方便：在山顶有一个人造的草场，从那里跳可以很安全。
那边的下坡很险峻：斜面有300米宽400米高！

首先，一个短的录像为总结：
[See post to watch Flash video]如果那个录像太慢下载，也可以打开在土豆网站。
 
 
我们第一个晚上做露营在那个草地，晚上景色不错。

周六早上，风不够，所以不可以飞，因此Manu和我去骑山地车在永安山后面。

有一条上山的泥土路：很坏的路，所以骑山地车很好（可以看上面的地图）。




从这条路到了一个地方叫火炉圈林区。如果我没有误解了，这个地方应该保护树。其实在那边现在只有沙子，泥土和石头。。。看起来像一个沙漠在山上。。。无论如何，这个地方合适高山速降和跳。

然后从那个水库我们试一试一条小路上山，但是上坡太厉害，而且我们不知道是去哪里所以我们掉头因为要吃饭！！！（其实我以后找到这条小路上山是去杏梅尖山顶。1086米高。已经有人骑山地车到那里，但是不太知道好不好骑。可以下山在龙门镇。在我的地图我写了）。
所以继续在那个泥土公路到后亩山村。这个村子挺漂亮，在村子中心有一个小池塘，旁边还围绕着很多老房子。

我们在一个老人的家里吃中饭（其实是他请客我们！）。他说下次他可以准备一些更好吃的本地菜，如果我们早一点通知他。他的手机号码在地图上。

同时，梅和她的朋友们已经飞了很多次。








可是我们到了的时候风向变了，所以我们去永安山庄对面的大水库。其实水的温度太高。可能是因为这个水库不是很深。

吃晚饭以后我们跟叮当和一刀去一个在山庄后面的山洞探险。这个洞非常长。。。我们用头灯照路，走了差不多400米，然后在地上有越来越多的水，空气中充斥着淤泥味，所以我们掉头。还是不知道这个洞是去哪里。。。下次。
晚上我们做露营在那个洞的水库附近，大自然的声音和温度让我们休息的非常好！
 
 
星期天早上Manu飞了两次。

Manu真的是一个专业骑自行车的人：即使他玩滑翔伞，他也穿他的骑行衫！哈哈哈

然后我们还继续骑自行车（看路线在地图上）。
我们只找到一条泥土公路下去永安山。看起来没有别的路，因为下坡很厉害（看我地图上的红色区域）。
在长安镇吃中饭，然后用主干道上去永安山。他们现在在修理这条路。以后应该很合适做轮滑速降。

再一次谢谢梅和一刀为这个好玩的周末！！！

GPS is great when you’re doing outdoor activities, but coming back to your computer, it’s sometimes a little bit tricky to use the output data, in my case, namely the KML / KMZ file.

Indeed, the GPS terminal records coordinates, altitude & other info each X seconds. It means that if you record your track for a time with a high rate recording frequency, your KML file is going to include thousands of points…

Everything is fine with Google Earth when you import your KML file, but some issues appear when you wanna import it in Google Maps (for instance, the tracks will split in several parts).
Indeed, if your KML polygons have too many points, the file will be too big for Google Maps.
Only one solution: reduce the number of points (and coordinates).

Here comes GPSBabel.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data.
For instance, in order to reduce the number of coordinates, you just have to apply one of the filters:

It’s free and it works under Windows, MacOS and Linux!

处理太大的GPS KML文件

你在做户外的活动的时候，GPS好用但是你回来在你的电脑有的时候一点难用输出的数据（KML和KMZ文件）。。。

其实，GPS终端机记载坐标，海拔和别的数据每个X秒。这个意思是如果你记载一段时间用一个高记载的速率，你的KML文件会包括成千的坐标。。。

你输入你的KML文件的时候，没有问题跟Google Earth，但是错误发生跟Google Maps（比如说，路线分为几个部分）。
如果的的KML的多边形有太多坐标，那个文件会太大为Google Maps。
只有一个解决：减少坐标的数量。

GPSBabel来了。

GPSBabel软件可以格式之间转换，除了格式转换之外，还有过滤waypoint的功能，例如可以将重名的、距离很接近的waypoint过滤掉，或者是只输出某个座标范围内的waypoint。
比如说，为减少坐标的数量，你只需要应用一个滤波器：

这是免费的软件，而且可以用在Windows，MacOS和Linux！

I like to go often to Mògānshān, coz each time, colors are different. Two months ago, it was deep green everywhere, but this time landscape was an alternation of yellow and green… Autumn begun…

This time, DiabloTim brought his GPS, so we had our exact location, speed, distance and altitude.
You can see the tracks on the GoogleMap hereunder.

October session gathered girls and boys from China, France, UK, USA and Iran

And, as special guest, Keke the lonely pro-rider! 帅哥!!!

Here are the view and elevation profile for this 20km lap:

After the lunch, we went uphill by car on the road towards 莫干山风景区 (Mògānshān scenic spot), and then downhill up to 筏头乡 (Fátóu village). The first 3km are pretty dangerous downhill. You can see Steeven wounds on the pictures below… Next time, I will require that everybody wear protections (as I do…).
Then we took the car on the road towards 安吉 (ān jí), and turned left on the first road heading to 筏头乡 (Fátóu village). Arrived on the top of the mountain, we parked the car and started the best downhill track of the area! More than 25minutes going down, with heavy speed at the beginning: our peak is… 48km/h!!!


 
Here are the view and elevation profile for this downhill track:


 
 
On Sunday, we’ve driven up to 天荒坪镇 (Tiānhuāngpíng village), then to the top of the highest mountain, called 江南天池 (Jiāngnán tiānchí).

Actually, on the top, there is a huge hydroelectric reservoir, but Chinese tourist industry managed to convert it in a kind of amusement park. When you arrive there, you’ve first to pay a fee for your car parking, then to buy an entrance ticket. Inside, you can take some pictures with a minority(?) costume, seating a horse. You can also rent some tandems, and ride on the concreted way around the reservoir… Greaaaaat place!
We quickly ran away, went thru the tunnel (coz too dark to do rollerskate inside) and stopped our mini-van.
Then we get prepared for a nice downhill! Actually the landscape and scenery are great, but the road is not really smooth… It’s not asphalt, but kinda old concrete slabs…

BTW, thanks to our Technical Support Team!

Here is the elevation profile for this downhill track:

After this downhill track, we took the car up to 长龙山 (Cháng lóng shān), which is just the opposite mountain (below, you can see the reservoir on the top of the mountain).

We’ve eaten nice local Zhèjiāng food and enjoyed some non-local massager.

During a post-lunch-short-walk, we’ve also met a strange animal in the bamboo forest…

Finally, we went downhill from 长龙山 (Cháng lóng shān). The road is pretty narrow, the slope is really steep, going thru the forest, it’s really one of my favorite track!

Here are the views and elevation profile for these downhill tracks:

I’ve also edited a comparison for all the tracks we’ve done during these two days (elevation vary between 854m and 12m!):

 
 
Last but not least, I’ve made a short movie (next time we really have to prepare a better one! btw, anybody interested in filming or editing… contact me!)
