Kathleen Stephens, the previous U.S. Ambassador in Korea cycled along the bike path of the South Han River on October 18th. The course she took initiated from the Misari Boat Race Course through Paldang Bridge, the South Han River Recycled Railroad Route, Yangsu-ri Station, and to the Jamsil Olympic Park. Ja Yeol Koo, the president of Korea Cycle Federation and Dong Hwan Kim, the president of ProCycle accompanied ambassador Kathleen Stephens.
Ever since the ambassador Stephens was assigned to be in Korea, she had been actively participated in the bicycle-related events. She was highly interested in cycling. She wanted to participate in the last event of the South Han River bike path opening on October 8th, but she had to be on a business trip relating to the President Tour. “If I could stay a little bit longer in Korea, I would have cycled on all of bike paths in the four rivers,” she added.
She was especially interested in the recycled railroad of the South Han River between Paldang Station and Yanggeun Bridge and enjoyed chatting and taking memorial pictures with the urban residents of Yangpyeong-gun.
