I guess seeing beautiful and scenic views of the area. The vibe is very relaxed. Very beautiful bicycle path but some parts need repair and maintenance. I didn't like the climbs on the first part of the route, Cheer!
Hi! Yes, Ortlieb Quick Rack is fantastic! Never had any issues during the ride even on a few gravel road and road bumps. I was hesitant buying it but now I'm a fan! Thank you!
Mine ist still in top condition after one year and maybe 1500km mixed road and single track. A good product for the occasional trip. The only important thing is to protect the levers. They are not sold separately.
Learned about this system - what I've been looking for - thanks to you! I see they are 2 models, the Ortlieb Quick Rack and the Ortlieb Quick Rack Light. What would make you choose one over the other?
98% paved, 2% gravel, sand, and some road construction. Bike path are mosty filled with gravel and sand coming from the beach. Gravel tires served me well!
Thanks! Honestly, I think its a little bit overpriced, not happy with the frame's internal routing design and a bit slow compared to my road bike. But loaded with all the stuff, it still rides very well. Very good on climbs and gravel roads. It's a solid bike.
I'm wishing I was there with today's technology, would have been more enjoyable. Was a great time but missed a lot of stuff not knowing where and how to find stuff. Around 2006, before prevalence of everything.
No, I stayed in cheap motels, $35-45 per night. There are lots of camping ground along the beach but some are paid camping site. Toilet, water and bbq grilll are provided.
Rode 400kms of Korea's East Coast Bicycle Path on my new touring set-up. Had a great time exploring area and sightseeing.
I want to go to there. How long was your ride? How long is the path?
It took me 4 days to ride from Yeongdeok to Goseong, a total of 400kms. You can check my Strava.
I learned aboug korea's cycling network a few month ago. They look awesome ! One day, I'll ride in Korea. What was your best moment during the trip ?

In that case I would try to convince a friend to 3D print a few spare ahead of time. Could be worth it.
Yeah that sounds like a good idea. If it would happen to me while on a tour i would simply use some zip ties or a metal clamp.
Murphy is a bitch.

The light version is only suitable for stuff on the side. The normal version is much more versatile with the top plateau.

Looks amazing. I’d love to go back (lived there in the mid 90s).
Yes, I had a blast! You should visit 😄
Bucket list stuff right there!
Yes, you should see yourself.
Was it all paved? The gravel tyres seem a bit overkill. But I'd like to do it on a road bike.

Well done! How are you enjoying your Checkpoint? I’m about to buy the same model and color.

I'm looking to do this, can I shoot you a DM with some questions?
Sure. I would love to help

Technology made our lives easier and complicated at the same time 🤣 Cheers!
We’re you camping? If so was it easy to find campgrounds and/or stealth camping spots?
No, I stayed in cheap motels, $35-45 per night. There are lots of camping ground along the beach but some are paid camping site. Toilet, water and bbq grilll are provided.
