Welcome to Day 2 back in Korea. I woke up in Gimpo after a wonderful, much-needed restful night's sleep. I go eat some delicious Texas BBQ at Blue Smoke, which was just down the street. Then I made my way to the border to get a glimpse of North Korea from the bike path.

I then wanted to make my way toward Ganghwa Island, going along the DMZ and checking out all the sights along the way. I found an observatory that you can go to, so I decided to go check it out. I couldn't ride my bike up there, which I'm glad because it was steep, so I had to walk. I tried my luck at hitchhiking, and after a couple of drivebys, I got lucky, and someone picked me up.

The observatory was cool; you get an excellent look into North Korea and a view of their "Propaganda town."

I then kept heading towards Ganghwa. I met many interesting people, stopped at more sights along the DMZ, and eventually made my way to my campsite to call home.

A lot going on in this video! Hope you enjoy it!

    If possible, Try the Donghae(Ease Sea) Beach Course, one of Korea's beautiful cycling courses. I would like to recommend the course from Gangneung to Sokcho and from Sokcho to Goseong. The road is not a difficult. Anyway you are a cool biker!!! I'm jealous~ I hope to ride with you if I get the chance. * Note that, Late July to early August is the hottest time in Korea. (Temperatures reach up to 39ยฐC to 40ยฐC(102ยฐF~104ยฐF) degrees.) This is the time when most deaths from heatstroke occur, so cycling should be minimized. Be careful of very hot weather. Be especially careful of the scorching sun during the day...
