Monday 3rd April 2017 Well, I was totally wrong about reaching the end of the trail today! It turns out the river twists and turns a lot more than I thought so it’s more like 200 km to Busan 🙂 I set off before 8 as it was such a beautiful morning. I stopped for […]
I woke to thick mist over the river but every sign it was going to be a great day. I wasn’t as starving as I thought I would be after my two fried eggs and small bowl of rice for dinner. Well it is a big beef growing area 🙁 It’s really surprising how local […]
Saturday April 1st 2017 50 years anniversary of leaving home and coming to live in Cambridge for 3 years 🙂 It was a stay or should I go start to the day 🙁 the rain started to clear so I thought I should go. I’m finding it hard to know how long to stay in Korea […]
I woke up to the sound of pouring rain 🙂 However, by the time I had eaten my honey toast for breakfast and chatted to the others the rain had cleared up, although the forecast was still pretty dire for the day. This is the 4 Rivers Trail big hill day 🙂 where you cross the […]
Thursday 30th March 2017 With 5 days in the saddle, 270 miles covered and well over 1 mile of vertical climbed I decided a rest day was called for. Perhaps not the best thing to do on a glorious cycling weather day with more rain & cold forecast for the next few days 🙁 I started […]
Wednesday 29 March 2017 Another great day of biking this time with added sun! I pedalled into town to get breakfast at Paris Baguette which was pretty busy. As I was munching away an American couple, Laura & Scott from Ohio, sat at the adjacent table nearly two hours later after a very interesting chat, […]
This was my first complete day on the 4 Rivers bike route and was it amazing! in fact stunning the perfect bike path. Although the weather was less than perfect with an ethereal mist over the views. I decided to try my luck at the local bread shop again, a lot warier than yesterday when one of […]
Monday 27th March 2017 What a foul weather day! I awoke to thick grey cloud and finished it in pouring icy rain 🙁 The going was also very varied from old broken roads which would compete with the worst in England to high-speed smooth very busy expressways with the cycle paths following a similar pattern. […]
Well, Korean Love Hotels are not the best place for a good nights sleep 🙁 I was on the road at 9 am and headed up Highway 1 to the DMZ checkpoint where 1 finishes (at the moment), I tried to blag my way in but the guard soldiers and there superior weren’t having it. I […]
After spending 24 hours in a windowless world yesterday (why does everyone shut the blinds on aeroplane) and OK 8 hours of which was stuck in Doha airport with no windows but it did have a 25 metre indoor pool if you remembered to put your costume in your carry on bag – I didn’t […]
