Riding in Ilsan, 2020

Last time I rode up toward Jeollyu-ri, so this time I tried the other side of the Han River and headed for Ilsan.

On the way home that day I took another wrong turn.. I was supposed to follow the Han River but ended up going toward Goyang.. by the time I made it back the sun had already set.. well, whatever.. people grow by going through a bit of hardship, right..
