The starting gun for the legendary South Korea cross-country epic. Leaving Seoul behind, the route transitions directly onto the world-class Han River bike path. Rolling on flawless, car-free tarmac, the track flows upstream past skyscrapers and wide riverside parks. The first major scenic highlight appears at Dumulmeori, where the North and South Han rivers join in a picturesque confluence.
Past Paldang Bridge, the cityscape gives way to rural charm. The route repurposes old railway lines, sending riders through beautifully lit, cool tunnels that provide a refreshing breeze. Coasting past monumental river infrastructure like the Ipbo Weir, the day finishes smoothly in historic Yeoju.
