These photos were taken on an epic 350km 2.5 day trip in South Korea. Jared (New Zealand) at left, Dave (Canada) next poking his head over the table and me with the green cap. Jared was the lead of navigation having a Garmin GPS equipped to his Scott 20. Dave rode a Grasshopper recumbent super-bike. I rode a borrowed ICON from a Korean friend. We rode from Seongnam (Southeast Seoul) 350kms to Daegu in just 2 and 4 1/2 hours. The last 100+kms were completed in just over 4 hours!!! It was a wonderful trip with 2 of the 4, WEBSITE= http://www.brakingboundaries.org team members. We stopped in Suanbo Springs the first night after riding 134kms. The second day was a brisk 103kms into Andong, where we took in the Korean Mask Festival. That was mixed with a carnival, several stage performance shows including an inspiring amateur Tae Kwon Do ~high-kick and choreographed performance. We finished the tour in Daegu, actually the city wasn't spectacular at all, the roads between cities were where we found solstice and the friendly Korean papparazzi taking our photos. Overall, it was a fabulous trip, and we have another 1 day 138km mountain loop planned for November. It's nice having friends that not only ride, but also love bikes, they are always an inspiration in my life! Blessings to all cyclists, and anyone who can give up the engine to go the distance. BP
