Date: 6th July 2018, Friday
Location: Hualien -> Yilan
Distance: 63.2km
We cycled from Hualien to Taroko on day 5. When we reached there, everyone was stunned
by how beautiful Taroko really is, just like a scene out of a movie. While cycling up the mountain, we felt how significant the gorge was. When we were cycling down the mountain, we were able to let loose and have a lot of reflecting time, which was very valuable. We were able to cycle through part of the gorge and take photos, we had lots of fun and made tons of great memories.

第五天行程令我印象十分深刻。在往太魯閣的路上，我不斷回想上年去太魯閣是坐觀光旅遊巴士去欣賞途中的風景。今年，我們踩單車去感受太魯閣的磅礡氣勢。左邊是奇特的山岩地貌，右是山間流出來的水極其清澈。 一路都是上坡，體能消耗十分大。可是踩單車去感受自然風景，令自己體驗十分特別。另外，在下坡時，劉教授叫我們儘量順地勢下斜，不要刹太多Gear，感受下一路順風是什麼樣，你自己感覺到有危險時又會刹多少Gear。Boot Camp Fly 其實不是在台灣踩單車就是一種榮耀，而是透過單車比喻我們將所面的問題困難的道路，我們又如何去面對解決，這個才是旅程的精髓。
