HK Island: From Central cycling anticlockwise to Mt Davis and Shek O

This ride was a variation on our regular cycle from Hong Kong's Central to Shek O on the South East side of the Island.  We took the route anti clockwise through Kennedy Town, stopping off just after to climb Mount Davis for the first time, then past the Cyberport.  Then along the south coast to Aberdeen, Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay, Stanley and on to Shek O.  


Central (Km 0 and 65); Kennedy Town (Km 5); Mount Davis (Km 10); Stanley (Km 25); Shek O (Km 38)
