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!)

And also the previous rollerskating session in Mògānshān (in August):

天气很好，风景漂亮和安静。。。

然后在十点钟，我们开始刷街！

莫干山的路真的适合做轮滑：有的路是平的，有的路一点下坡，有的可以做速降。而且做轮滑在竹子林里面很凉快！
一般的路，没有很多车子，但是应该当心。

我们在香格里拉山庄出发。路线是差不多二十五公里。
这里有一个地图跟我们的路线：


路线的海拔：

开始的时候，有一点厉害的下坡，所以我们教新手怎么下去

最后七公里是平的路和上去的路。不是很难。

三个小时以后我们到了我们的目的地：也是香格里拉山庄！
如此我们在那边吃中饭：照常，老板娘做饭很好吃的浙江本地菜！！！

终于，我们去禹山坞水库为游泳！

在那个水库，我们碰见一个很有名的小大流氓：

也有一个短的电影：

词汇：
速 = sù  = speed, fast
降 = jiàng  = to come down, to descend
速降 = sù jiàng  = downhill
照常 = zhào cháng = as usual
终于 = zhōng yú = at last, in the end

Hope that one day, local authorities (I don’t speak specifically about China, but everywhere all over the world!…) would understand what is said on this video
The narrator is true: when you’re a rider, you look at the cities as an experiencing environment: stairs, walls, handrails, gaps, …
"Public space" just doesn’t have the same meaning.

太多照片和电影在我电脑里。。。所以我太晚了放它们在我的网站

这次，是极限轮滑在2008年2月在在科技馆和2008年3月在音乐厅。
看这些照片的时候，我真的想我们做轮滑都在一起。。。希望我们会再可以集合！

这里有一个短的电影：
