The handcyclist with the group.

Hard earned rest.

The road condition was great almost all the way, just a few kilometers near Boljoon were a bit rough.

Getting closer to our final destination.

Some climbing

But not too serious

Sorry mate for cutting off your head.

Don't we love downhill.

Luckily for me we've had tail wind all way, that made it quiet easy riding.

I diden't do that.

Precious view, it cost us lots of sweat.

Sumilon island.

Total distance cycled was 150.5 km, average speed of 22.5 km/h, my top speed clocked at 61.5 km/h and total riding time was 6 h 41 min.
