short but steep climb

Heavy downpours that occurred a couple of weeks ago struck some mountain villages in the northern Yeongcheon 영천. While cycling on a sunny, hot weekend, could find the debris left behind along the stream and lakeside. Bohyunsan optical astronomy observatory 보현산 천문대 stands atop Mt. Bohyunsan, which can be seen from the road across the nearby southern village. This mountain has attracted those who are interested in trekking and cycling. The path is paved in a zigzag pattern from the bottom to the top around the observatory.           
Cycling in the remote area makes us more refreshed, even if sometimes have to pass through heavy traffic in mountain areas and have to go through tunnels with accident risk as well. On the way to the starting point, Whanam township 화남면, barely managed to ride up a short, steep mountain pass between Gigye 기계 and Imgo 임고 at maximum effort.
