This past weekend there weren't any races but I got a lot of good training in. Friday after work I explored a new mountain bike trail I had been wanting to ride. Its a dirt road to the top of a mountain that is used for para gliding (jumping off the mountain with a parachute!). The forest road up was great and I figured there would be a nice single track downhill but all of the trails I found were either too steep or too rocky to ride. The road ended up connecting to another forest road loop I like to ride though and I rode that down and back home.
Saturday I rode together with Aaron, Chuck and Luis from the Osan Air Force Base. We got a good 4 hour ride in with one nice climb.
Sunday I did a 3 hour mountain bike ride on two of my favorite trails in the area. The first has a long steep forest road climb up through the Yangji Pine Resort(where I ski usually) then has a 6km long section of awesome technical single track. Next I rode south to Munsu san which has a nice 10km double track loop around the mountain. Both of the climbs were brutal (forest roads with over a 10% average grade for 2-3km each) but have great downhills.
I needed to get some good training in because I've registered for races each of the next 4 weeks. Next Saturday there is a 40km circuit race in Incheon that should suit me pretty well. The next week I will be racing the XC race at the Samcheon Ri Muju race. This is supposed to be the biggest mountain bike race in the country. It has a full slate of racing with XC, Downhill, and 4 cross. Most of the mtb races here are marathon style (one big loop with mostly double track) but this one is more traditional XC with a 6km loop and some single track.
The next weekend there is a TTT in Hwaseong about an hour from my house. I did this race last year too. Its held on a 5km oval used for testing cars. Not the most interesting course but a good place to hold a TTT.
Finally the first weekend in June I registered for the Bad Dal Jae 100km mountain bike race. I've never done an mtb race this long before (except one 12 hour race when I was 16) and I'm really excited. Typically long races like this aren't really my thing but I think just riding the course itself will be an accomplishment.
I'll post here again after the race in Incheon this weekend!
