Charity bike ride in Hangzhou looks to blossom

The 2018 Trek 100 Qiantang River (Hangzhou) Charity Bike Tour ended last Saturday in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. More than 1,000 cycling enthusiasts competed in two groups - the 92 km and 63 km cycle challenge.

The Trek 100 Charity Bike Tour was founded in 1990, and has been successfully held for the past 28 years. The annual charity bike ride was jointly established by Trek Cycling and the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Foundation and attracts now around 1,000 participants every year.

The Trek 100 has a riding distance of around 100 kilometers, and aims to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and contribute to the public well-being through the power of cycling.

The 2018 Trek 100 Qiantang River (Hangzhou) Charity Bike Tour kicked off at a sports center in Hangzhou's Jianggan district. Riders who participated in the charity ride started from Qianjiang New City, before heading toward Xiasha via the Qiantang River, and then returned along the riverside back to Jianggan district.

In the season when the peach trees blossom, the riders enjoyed picturesque scenery on both banks of the river as they happily sweated their way through the race.
