Korea Easy Rider Cycling Club KERCC is an equal opportunity bicycle community & DAEGU MTB is cool too! Cycling in Korea 2012!

We are a small team of outlaw cyclists in South Korea. KERCC, or Korea Easy Riders Cycling Club began when we decided to launch a Gangneung-based cycling community in South Korea. We currently have only a few members but open our group to everyone who likes bicycle fitness to join in, perhaps that is the start of something great in our community. Here we are enjoying the Saturday morning ride that usually meets every Saturday morning at 9am in front of Caffe Bene in Kyo-dong, Taekchi, Gangneung.
Stop in for a morning coffee and take a stress-burning bike ride with us!.

If others are interested in joining us, just bring your bicycle, water bottle & let's enjoy the Cycling in Korea.

Bob leads the Pop Tart XC 101 ride, 2012

  Winter cycling in South Korea - The extreme changes in climate and weather conditions regionally. 

Chris Kobrzynki and I also took a road trip to meet the Daegu MTB crew on the Pop Tart / XC 101 ride in early February 2012 meeting a great community down south in Daegu, South Korea.

 Bob rides Trek Ex9 on Pop Tart, Daegu has a friendly bunch of offroad rider in Korea.

 Will on his XC bike.

 I broke and repaired my chain twice on this ride. Earlier in January, I had joined a group of Korean cyclists for the Daegwallyeong Snow DH weekend ride, dried the chain completely out & i forgot to regrease. (:

 I recommend the Itaewon Wellness Center, Tel. 02-794-3536, Hannam Building, 3rd Floor, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (Itaewon Subway Exit #2, walk up the street to the Hannam Building - also International Health Clinic)

 My local sponsor in South Korea, AN DAE GI at Gangneung Bike Mart, Gangwon-do, Korea helped me refinish the 2008 Blackcat MTB I have been riding for the last 15000km+. Thank you sponsor & friend! (:

 I've been recently training for another 360km Korea Randonneur Brevet (March 31-April 1, 24 hour Endurance event, more information about the entire 2012 Korea Randonneur Brevet Series is available here.) We have a team of 3 so far (Wonju-Gwangju Team) and will welcome 2 more riders (open seats!) email!

 My friend Chris has been really helpful this winter. Everyone needs some motivation from their friends, this is definitely one of them that supports my riding and training in South Korea. Thank you brother!  (:

 Cycling in Korea: It's an adventure. Try it today!

 Pipe Dreams or Realities. Both. Training for a 32,000km expedition of the Americas.

 Matthew and I found a Coffee Cupper with fantastic murals, great Cafe Latte, & wood stove burning coffee hulls (shells). Occasionally, a great coffee or espresso shot in the water bottle helps the ride.

 Up in the Himalayas this past summer on the HimalayasX2011 expedition of western China (:

 We bought two sleds this winter, here's an area of Gangwon-do near Gangneung on Hwy 415

 Lijiang certainly is one of "THE" places to visit while touring in western China

 Yes, I have proof now that I have cycled there. 

 Dreams are great, but building expeditions that take flight is much, much better.

 I think I have a mantra for every day of the week (sometimes we need them in this world). Explore!

That's a wrap. Cycling is cool. If you want to join us in Korea, look for "Korea Easy Riders Cycling Club" on Facebook. The only rule is: No Attitudes here, Just Rides and Relax. (: Peace from Gangneung!
