By all measures the Gwangju 200K, the ultimate Jiri-san challenge, is the hardest and most exciting 200K Korea Randonneurs offer this year. From Gwangju, riders will head east to Namwon, an easy task. From there Randonneurs will climb more than 1000 meters over a stretch of 20km to reach Jeongryeongchi, the highest pass in the Jiri-san. After a quick descend to Dalgung valley, the second climb will take us to Seongsamjae. Try the Pajeon at the restaurant at the pass - it is the best in the Jiri-san. A fast and exhilarating 1,100 meter descend over the next 10km takes us to Gurye and then back home to Gwangju where we will celebrate in Han’s bike shop. Leave your carbon wheels at home as the heat from the breaking might be too much for them.

Randonneurs are long-distance unsupported endurance cyclists who cover distances between 200km and 1200km and beyond. Randonneuring has its roots in France and every four years in August Randonneurs from around the globe gather in this country to participate in the 1200km event Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP). The Korea Randonneurs were established in 2009 and the first Brevets were held in 2010 (BICYCLELIFE article). All Korea Randonneurs Brevets have been sanctioned by Audax Club Parisien (ACP 601000) and can be used to qualify for PBP. Check out our permanent new web site.
