🚴‍♂️ Seoul to Yeoju: 98km Safe Ride, Spa & VIP Bus Return!

Hi riders! Want to burn over 2,200 calories this weekend while enjoying an epic ride, great food, and a relaxing hot spring? To be honest, we really wanted to do this beautiful 98km ride to Yeoju, but we absolutely dreaded the idea of taking multiple crowded subway trains all the way back to Seoul with our bikes. 😂 So, we decided to charter a huge VIP bus for the return trip and open it up to the community! Let's ride together, have a great weekend diet trip, and get back to Seoul comfortably. 🚐💨 **[The Route & Vibe]** * **🚴 The Path:** We will start at the North end of Jamsu Bridge. The route is **98km long** and **98% dedicated bike paths**, making it incredibly safe and scenic. * **☕ The Pace:** We expect the whole trip to take about 6\~7 hours (Riding time + Breaks). This is not a race! We will be stopping at beautiful cafes and delicious local restaurants along the way to rest, chat, and refuel. * **👀 Check out the route vibe here:** [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYHhlA9zoVG/?igsh=Y2VhbzU2ZHg1NXp2](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYHhlA9zoVG/?igsh=Y2VhbzU2ZHg1NXp2) **[Event Highlights]** * **♨️ The Reward:** Chill and recover at the premium **Sun Valley Hotel Hot Spring Spa (Sauna/Onsen)** in Yeoju after the ride. * **🚐 VIP Return & Sag Wagon:** Our chartered bus can hold up to **20 people and bikes**! The bus will also wait for us around the 55km mark (Yangpyeong). If the summer heat or the 98km distance gets to you, just load your bike and enjoy the AC for the rest of the way! **[Cost & Confirmation (Please Read!)]** * **Condition:** Chartering a bus is a big commitment, so **we MUST have a minimum of 10 people to confirm this trip.** (If we don't reach 10 by Thursday night, the event will be canceled). * **Estimated Cost:** **Around ₩80,000 \~ ₩100,000 (Cash on-site)** * *How does it work?* We are simply splitting the cost of the bus charter. If we get the minimum 10 riders, it's about ₩100,000. **But if we reach our max capacity of 20 riders, the price drops to ₩50,000!** Invite your cycling buddies to drop the price for everyone! 😉 * **⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE:** The estimated cost above covers **ONLY the bus transportation**.
