Ichon Hangang Park Convenience Store

Highlight • Rest Area

Local convenience stores are plentiful, especially on the river path around Seoul, these are great for both hot and cold snacks. Some also have covered or indoor areas for use during winter, as well as hot water, microwaves and Ramyun making machines. These maybe not be on par with “Japanese convini” according to some but they are not to be sniffed at, especially when riding and water or a quick snack is required. These surpass anything similar in the west. Look out for Mini-Stop, GS24, Seven Eleven, CU and E-mart.

Namsan

Highlight • Summit

Korea is a country of mountains. These landforms offer a variety of challenging cycling routes but for the people who live in the city of Seoul, escaping to explore these areas isn’t always an option. That is where Namsan and Bugak come in. While these mountains aren’t the grandest, highest or most scenic in South Korea, they are certainly the most popular.

Namsan is part of our Montagnes du Monde series, head over to bit.ly/3iyb31T and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Bugak Skyway Pavilion Viewpoint

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

After some initial ramping up, this climb builds gently and is more achievable than the profile suggests. Some great views reward the effort at the lookout point, there are several cafes at the top and a convenience store. At the Skyway Cafe there is a bike weight scale suspended from the awning - should you be curious to know your bike’s weight.

GS25 Hangang Banpo 1st Branch (Banpo Mini)

Highlight • Rest Area

Referred to locally as Banpo Mini by many cyclists, somewhat unhelpfully, as it is now a GS brand convenience store - it wws formally a Mini Stop - hence the nickname. This is a popular central Han Gang River park meeting spot for rides heading in various directions. Not to be confused with the (mini) roundabout at the Banpo bridge crossing (south side).
