Route Name	Overall Map*	Elevation and Distance	Google Earth	Garmin Mapsource	Notes
ALL routes below combined in one	.jpg	n/a	.kmz	.gdb	overview of all routes - very neat to look at the Google Earth view of this - each Waypoint is marked and you can contribute pictures of you/your friends when you pass the waypoints - I'll add the pics
TAS to SanZhi up the 101 down to TAS	.jpg details	.jpg	.kmz	.gdb	lots of traffic on the flats all the way through SanZhi - go early to avoid - once in mtns, beautiful and quiet
Palace Museum up Elspeth's Hill	.jpg	.jpg	.kmz	.gdb	every 6 months (April/Oct) there is a time-trial race here - many categories - very short race - fun
Palace Museum up Satellites	.jpg details	.jpg	.kmz	.gdb	fairly steep climb but has its resting places - very nice view of many satellites - one can continue over the top and end up back at TAS (route coming soon...)
TAS up to Saddle	.jpg	.jpg	.kmz	.gdb	roughly a 1hr. ride up and a 25 minute ride back down - nice for before school!
TAS along coast to JinShan up to Saddle down to TAS	.jpg	.jpg	.kmz	.gdb	start off with 50km of flat ride and finish with a nice steep 1hr climb to the JinShan saddle before heading back down to TAS - plan 3 to 3.5 hours riding time
Palace Museum up Helen's	.jpg details	.jpg	.kmz	.gdb	some steep parts in the climb - but at least the torture only lasts about 30 minutes
