The first 3 days here may be the most I have ever ridden in 3 days. Monday started up with a 4:30 am wake up to go the airport but we were in Jeju island by 11am. We got our bikes ready and went out for a 5 hour ride. It was sunny but pretty cold. Yesterday and today didn't have great weather. It's been rainy and about 45 degrees F. Yesterday I planned to ride 4 hours with a Jeong Chang Jo, a friend of mine from Yongin who is the coach of a high school triathlon team down here training, but I miss judged the course and ended up riding 5 hours in basically non stop rain! The course we did was pretty cool though we rode up to a 600 meters elevation on the mountain and there was a lot of snow up there. Later in the week we are going to climb the 2 highest roads here which go up about 3000 ft! There should be a lot of snow up there.
Today we did a team ride and did a big loop on some awesome twisty, hilly roads around the island. It rained off and on through out the ride but it wasn't super cold. I haven't really been riding much this winter and I was in major pain today. I bonked a little in the last 30km and couldn't ride super fast. I made it back to our condo ok though. That made for 3 five hour days in a row. We have 4 more days of riding here. Hopefully my legs recover a bit and I can get in some more great rides!
