Korea Easy Rider Cycling Club KERCC is an equal opportunity bicycle community & DAEGU MTB is cool too! Cycling in Korea 2012!










We are a small team of outlaw cyclists in South Korea. KERCC, or Korea Easy Riders Cycling Club began when we decided to launch a Gangneung-based cycling community in South Korea. We currently have only a few members but open our group to everyone who likes bicycle fitness to join in, perhaps that is the start of something great in our community. Here we are enjoying the Saturday morning ride that usually meets every Saturday morning at 9am in front of Caffe Bene in Kyo-dong, Taekchi, Gangneung.
Stop in for a morning coffee and take a stress-burning bike ride with us!.

If others are interested in joining us, just bring your bicycle, water bottle & let's enjoy the Cycling in Korea.

 I broke and repaired my chain twice on this ride. Earlier in January, I had joined a group of Korean cyclists for the Daegwallyeong Snow DH weekend ride, dried the chain completely out & i forgot to regrease. (:

About the Korean-World Author

Brian Perich is now an English a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher, father, and adventure cyclist based in South Korea.

Between 1994-1998 - Brian completed his own adventures with motorcycles. His motorcycling marathons took him across the United States and central/western Canada, while traveling solo over an astounding 24,000km in 60 days! He endured 900 mile/1300km days in the motorcycle saddle and apparently loved every minute of those adventures.

Today, he has given up motorcycle adventures altogether, but finds an outlet for his enthusiasm in outdoor recreation while bicycle touring and micro-blogging about those experiences.

While employed as an English teacher in South Korea, Brian has became an advocate for bicycle touring on his mountain bikes. The Korean-World blog originated from those small adventures in Korea, now expanding to covering his recent HimalayasX expedition across western China, the Taklamakan Desert, the northern Himalayas of Xinjiang/Uyghur Autonomous Region, the corrugated back roads and mountains of Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces. Brian successfully completed his expedition with 3200km/1800 miles of pavement, on/off road MTB adventure cycling.

Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.

The second non-profit foundation is ETE.ORG - Education Through Expeditions, UK which supports educational outreach programs inside schools around the world. ETE connects explorers with students in the classroom, through an interactive online program in development (Beta).

Brian is asking his readers support for sponsorship to begin his upcoming 32000km 18000 mile expedition across the Americas - Arctic2Argentina2013, and needs your support! Please contact him if you are interested in helping out.
