The United States ambassador to China, Terry Branstad, also took part in the event. At the site, he shared his riding experiences: "Cycling is a wonderful sport that can solve many complex problems, such as health, traffic congestion, etc., I hope more people will participate in the future. Riding in the spring is a very good experience, I hope you will all enjoy the ride."

The bike tour is the opening challenge of the 2018 Trek 100 series, where the US cycle brand Trek has teamed up with FAW-Volkswagen's C-Trek model to bring a variety of cycling experiences to bike enthusiasts around China. The event attracted cyclists from Hangzhou, Shanghai, Wuxi, Ningbo and Jiaxing, as well as riders from abroad.

This year, Trek 100 will donate the enrollment fees from the charity ride to support the China University Student Sports Association's cycling branch to help promote and popularize the cycling movement among colleges and universities across the country.
