This post is intended to show the geographical terrain of South Korea's Gangwon-do Province and the points crossed in these photos display areas between Gangneung-si and Uljin County on the northeast coast. The route is my favorite for cycling/training in Korea, Hwy 7 -dubbed the "Asian Highway" links Goseong to the northern limits of South Korea bordering the DMZ/North Korea's militarized armaments. Other places to visit en route include Sokcho, Yang Yang, Gangneung, Donghae, Samcheok, Uljin, Pyeonghae, Pohang, Gyeongju, Ulsan and finally Busan. It was the first training of April 2010, I spent the month of March recovering from the 'yellow dust' blown over China/Korea/Japan/Taiwan and much of far East Asia. Feeling better now, I completed a short training route with a great deal of vertical variation: 7 hours 30 mins (RT=Ride time) 16.7km/h (AS=Average Speed) 60.5km/h (MS=Maximum Speed) 125.95km traveled. It's really a short distance, but after being on medical furlow for a month, I was happy with just be back on the saddle. Work to accomplish now in my academics, back to the bike when the way clears. ^^.
