The cycling occurs on mostly flat sometimes hilly terrain, however on Day 6 there is a particularly challenging climb. You should be comfortable on a bike and used to riding distances of up to 90 km for several days in a row. Please note, riding on any of the major roads on this route requires physical and mental awareness at all times as traffic generally has little respect for cyclists, so caution must be taken. Most of the itinerary avoids major roads whenever possible. The best time to travel to South Korea for this tour is spring (March-May) and autumn (September-October). Summer months bring monsoon rains and winter can be cold or snowy.
