After a few rides, 100km or so starts to feel like just popping out for a stroll. This day I went past Ilsan and out to Paju. As long as I don’t get lost it isn’t all that far..

Ilsan scenery

Even just out at Ilsan there are rice paddies and fields..

Paju Book City

The buildings really are beautifully designed.

Paju Book City

D FLAT

It’s a coffee shop I know, but I got here far too early and it wasn’t open yet.. places like this probably get mostly people arriving by car.

past Book City and on toward Imjingak..

Great weather~

countryside scenery

migratory birds

So, so beautiful. I think it was the kind of chance you only get a few times a year.

Paju Heyri

The bike path is well built all the way to Heyri, at least.

Heyri

I hadn’t done much research, so I had no idea what was there.

Cola Museum

Turns out it’s a date course.. there was a bike path going on past Heyri too, but I’m not sure where it leads. Needs a bit of research..

migratory birds

There were an incredible number of them.

on the way back

When I do a proper hard ride, even setting off early in the morning and getting back as fast as I can, I’m so worn out there’s nothing left in me.. that’s how the weekend goes..
