No racing, no drop rides. Just good people, good vibes, and a solid day on the bike. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/df84b191-6f90-487c-a802-ae9b38b9eba9-1.jpeg) The First D.o.p.e. Ride - March 1 2026 ### What is DOPE? (DOPE 소개) [D.O.P.E Cycling Club](https://dopecycling.com/?ref=platooncycles.com) is a cycling community based in Seoul, made up mostly of foreigners living in Korea. It's not about how fast you are or what bike you ride — it's about showing up and riding together. Platoon Cycles is a proud sponsor of DOPE, and we've been part of this crew since the beginning. ### DOPE South — Pyeongtaek Chapter (평택 지부) Over the past year, more and more riders from the Pyeongtaek area — many of them stationed at Camp Humphreys — have started joining DOPE rides. The interest grew so much that a southern chapter is now forming around the Pyeongtaek region. We're calling it **DOPE South** for now, and it's exactly what the riding community down here has been missing: a regular, organized group ride where you can meet other cyclists, explore Korea's incredible bike paths, and actually enjoy your time on the bike. ### Yesterday's Ride (어제 라이딩 요약) | Detail (항목) | Info (내용) | | -------------- | ------------------------------- | | Riders (참가 인원) | 23 | | Distance (거리) | \~50 km | | Route (코스) | Dedicated bike paths (자전거 전용도로) | | Pace (페이스) | Social — no-drop, safe ride | Whether you've been riding for years or just picked up a bike last week, this is the kind of ride where everyone belongs. ### After the Ride (라이딩 후) The ride was only half the fun. After rolling back in, everyone gathered at Platoon Cycles for a potluck — riders brought food to share, and we hung out, swapped stories, and just enjoyed the post-ride energy together. We also ran a raffle with some prizes to cap off the day. If you've ever wondered what the cycling community in Pyeongtaek looks like — this was it. Good rides, good food, good people. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9058.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9060.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9064.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9071.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9078.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9083.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9053.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9051.jpeg) ### Want to Join?

You know where to find us. --- **See you on the road.** Platoon Cycles — Proudly sponsoring D.O.P.E Cycling Club --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/da81fdab-38a8-444c-9a5c-baeaea864099.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/6f528db2-d396-4bcb-b64f-4ad75c253724.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/63e33efe-c3e7-4611-a504-73e5b5f37e55.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/df84b191-6f90-487c-a802-ae9b38b9eba9-2.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_0587.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_0580.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9047.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/IMG_9045.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/5d/01/5d010117-54ee-42c0-b578-a7c401c31b2b/content/images/2026/03/3B18CCB3-6128-42EE-BDAA-270DAE7C0F13DOPE-FLYER.jpeg) Join in & Ride together !!
