2023 ASIA Rainbow Ride

The ASIA Rainbow Ride will take place this October 20th~22nd, 2023 during Taiwan’s Pride month. The trip is a fully supported three-day, two-night cycling event through the northwest coast of Taiwan.

To see what the ride is like and why we ride, please visit www.asiarainbowride.com

This is a ride, not a race. We’ll bike a total of 206 kilometers over the three days.

We partner with Taiwan Bike Tour, a professional bike tour company for our logistics. About 50% of the cycling will be alongside cars on the road, and 50% will be on designated bike paths. There will be cycling instructors guiding traffic and leading the route. There will be rest stops and a lunch stop over the duration of the day.

There is a pace for every rider. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or a beginner, there is something for everyone. We will have support vans in case anyone needs to be transported to the hotel. Bike mechanics, as well as medical personnel, will travel in our group to ensure everyone’s safety.
