Day 9 and we’ve reached Busan, our final destination on our South Korea Cross Country Tour. Today we smashed another 100km ride, Katie’s second century in a week, not many can boast such an impressive stat in their cycling “career”. 

In total we cycled 645km, climbed ove...

Ohhh what a day, easily the toughest so far... after the 100km yesterday, we decided to have a late start and enjoy the comforts of the hotel we stayed in last night. Around 11am we set off on a flat bike lane right by the river. Legs were feeling the efforts from the d...

We cracked 100km today. For some this isn’t much of a feat but considering we’re 7 days into this South Korean Cross Country ride and a mere 2 months ago Katie would be absolutely puffed if we rode over 20km, then today marks an impressive milestone. We initially planne...

We’re through the mountains and following the smooth, flat bike lanes along the river that will deliver us to Busan. Or so we were led to believe... 

The day started with a downhill that led us close to the river which zig-zagged around mountains, ducking under busy high...

And we’re through the mountains! 
Day 5 on our South Korea Cross Country ride and we just conquered the Ihwaryeong Pass, the tallest mountain we’re bound to face on this ride.

We started a bit late this morning as we had a rough night last, with the South Korea Air Force...

We’re 4 days in and loving it. After avoiding the massive cyclone last night, we decided to start a bit later today as to allow the roads to dry a bit. Today’s ride was planned a bit shorter to give the legs a well deserved rest before the big ride tomorrow, where we ta...

Day 3 and we’ve covered some more ground. With a cyclone chasing us, we got moving early in the day hoping to smash a cool 60km before the torrential rain and gale wind forecasted.

We started on flat bike lanes with an optimal 20 degrees in temperature; we were flying to...

Second day of South Korea’s 4 Rivers ride and we are finally through Seoul, big cities, big crowds and bad bellies. 

After a long night sleep and a decent meal, we were almost at full force today, ready to put in a decent ride and get out of Seoul, into, literally, green...

Today Katie and I start the 4 Rivers Track in South Korea, a 600+km bike lane that connects Seoul, in the northern part of South Korea, to Busan, at the very south of South Korea. This ride follows Korea’s most important rivers and we cycle on bike lanes from start to f...

Last day on the Madrid 2 Lisbon ride would see me riding fast flat roads all the way to Lisbon. The started with a dense mist in the air that delayed my start time, as I waited for the mist to clear. Dad agreed in riding the track from Lisbon, meeting me halfway and rid...

Today I would cross the border between Spain and Portugal and inch closer to the finish line. Like the day before, I didn’t really have a goal for today and was happy to finish at Castelo de Vide, Ponte de Sor or Montargil. Started slow in the morning and it took me a f...

Big day on the bike. Woke up fresh and alert, with a terrific weather forecast for the day and legs feeling great in spite of the previous day ride.

Set off early in the day with no clear idea of where I was going to be able to reach today. My only plan was to ride as fa...

Day 1 started at 4AM after 2 hours of sleep, when I decided to risk it and try to beat the storm fast approaching Madrid. Started putting the bike together in the tiny Airbnb room I managed to get the night before.

After getting some breakfast and sorting out the extra b...
