Hello all!  We had a great time Railbiking this weekend in Korea. What is railbiking?  Well, some smart folks at Korail decided to take 7.4km sections of their unused tracks in Gangwon Province and turn them into railbike connections. It isn't touring, it isn't difficult, it isn't challenging, however, it is loads of fun for the family (or friends). We camped overnight to buy our tickets. At 3:30am a group was already lined up, so Brian the Bear emerged from the happy tent pitched on the lawn (great camping spot for overnight bikelite camping)* and left my family warm and toasty inside. While lined up, I spoke to some really friendly Koreans, namely a family we met. Over the course of the next few hours I told them stories of traveling across the USA and Western and Central Canada (five) times by motorcycle, as well as the touring in Korea that I have been promoting since 2007. We had some good conversation, hope they understood all I was saying to them (: Here's the photo memories of our great mini adventure. - Brian & family in Gangneung, Korea. (:
