Sunny sky and hot temperature are making it feel like summer already. The asphalted paved surface is heated up more by solar radiation. It's been about one year to go cycling around the rural areas in Gunwi 군위 and Uiseong 의성 county. Ubo 우보 and Uiheung 의흥 are in Gunwi, Gaum 가음 Uiseong.
On the way to Uiheung from Ubo, turned left for Gaum, headed up north and then crossed a hill pass down to Gaum with towering mountains in the background. An uphill stretch southwards to Gunwi dam awaits after your passing through the village of Nakjeon-ri 낙전리. Riding uphill is always a challenge.
Gunwi dam. A lack of rainfall persists long enough and has brought water levels down to less than half its average level.
