It might look simple, but it has got some nice steep climbs to it! This ride starts on the west side of Busan, near the Nakdong river. From Geumgok Subway station, head north on the main road for 1 kilometer, then take a right into the hills. The very steep climb is worth it, it’s the first part of your 15km gravel section. A great mix of climbs and descents takes you along the western and northern side of Geumjeong mountain. Once the gravel finishes, be aware that the course goes through a construction area (as of early 2021), so the course may not be fully accurate as construction progresses. Make your way to the main road, which will take you to a bike path. Follow the path down the stream to Yangsan, and then down to the Nakdong River path. The course ends at Hopo station, just one station north of your starting point.
