Hey Mike, it's a fantastic opportunity to group hammer, unfortunately the touring bike I'm riding keeps only 65psi in the rear tire & it wouldn't be up for the task Seoul to Busan @25-40Kph [Mike Noonan successfully completed this ride with 2/10 other riders in 15 hours!!!]. I'm planning to meet up with Murray in Sokcho while he rides towards the DMZ (Goeseong) from Sokcho. Later, I'm back down the coast to Gangneung. I usually work Saturdays too, making this 500Km ride all the more tempting!! All I can say is, "S**t! Maybe next time!!!" I gave you a call your line was busy, or turned off...got your msg though, and saved your #, so thanks a bunch!
I'm going to keep this simple touring bike and later upgrade to a hard-road/touring bike with full-panniers that can travel distance at a much faster clip. I'm personally training for a 48,000Km ride in Spring 2012.
