We will have fun both indoors and out! On Friday night,  May 10th, iGK's Mountain Bike Guide, Mike Moses, will host the 2nd edition of the Yuseong Spring Festival apartment party. Just 300 meters in front of the windows, a professional fireworks display will take place at 9PM on Friday night. Enjoy front-row seats, drink in hand, without ever leaving the party! Maybe they will even set the island on fire again this year! Bring drinks or food to share!

On Saturday, May 11th,  at 10PM, meet at the Gapcheon riverside near Mike’s place for a beginner-friendly bike relay race. Each beginner will be teamed up with a veteran biker, and team members will take turns on the course. While waiting for your partner to finish her lap, enjoy food and drinks at the riverside barbecue and chat with new friends. Each lap should take about 40 minutes and includes no significant climbing or technical terrain. However, the gorgeous riverside scenery will put a smile on even the most hardened veteran’s face! We will do a warm-up lap together to get to know the course at 10:10AM, then start the race at 11AM. Last lap departs at 2PM. Awards ceremony at 2:45PM.
