During President Lee Myung-bak's administration, the Ministry of the Interior organized cycling events that departed from Olympic Park to areas like Yongmun and Sokcho.
There was no participation fee, and once the Gyeongchun Line bicycle path was completed, there was also a riding event from beneath the Yangpyeong bridge to Gapyeong.
Minister Ajo participated in the ride!
I'm not sure if this event should be called a Gran Fondo.
