In 2012 we will run our first Korea Fleche (pronounced 플 레쉬).  Fleche is the French word for “arrow” (화살표 방향).  Teams consisting of 3-5 riders will start on March 31 at 11 a.m. from different cities and then converge 24 hours later (April 1) on Gwangju, where all riders will have a celebration lunch.  Each team has to cycle at least 360 km.  So far two teams have signed up.  One team will start in Cheonan (Hennighausen Lothar - 헤닉하우즌 로타) and one in Busan (Jan Boonstra).  Riders interested in riding from Cheonan (tentative route) should contact Lothar (alpinerandonneur@verizon.net) and riders who wish to join the Busan team should contact Jan (jan@boonstra.org).  Korea Randonneurs who wish to form their own team should contact Jan Boonstra (jan@boonstra.org) soon to make arrangements.  Each team has to submit their route to Jan Boonstra (jan@boonstra.org) for approval before February 1, 2012.  Please contact Jan for additional information

Fleche

3월 31일 – 4월 1일 (11:00 am 출발) 도착지는 광주

Fleche (불어로 화살이란 뜻)는 팀 이벤트입니당. 몇몇 팀이 한국의 서로 당른 지역에서 3월 31일 오전 11시에 출발하여 24시간 후에 광주에서 만나 당 같이 축하 점심파티를 갖는 것입니당. 각 팀은 최소 360km 이상을 달려야 하고 그 이상을 달리는 것은 팀 자체적으로 결정할 수 있습니당. 각 팀은 3~5명의 사이클리스트로 구성되어야 하며, 팀이 성공적으로 완주하려면 최소 3명이 24시간 내에 광주에 도착하여야 합니당. 각 팀은 스스로 루트와 컨트롤을 계획하여야 하고, 이 루트는 출발 전 코리아 랜도너에 의해 승인 받아야 합니당. Fleche 규칙은 모든 팀이 목적지 (광주)에 동시에 도착하는 것입니당. Fleche 규칙은 각 팀이 광주로부터 약 25Km 떨어진 지점에 22시간 컨트롤을 두도록 하며, 각 팀은 이 컨트롤에서 4월 1일 일요일 오전 9시에 출발하여 광주로 향하도록 허가됩니당. 현재까지 몇몇 팀들이 관심을 보여왔습니당. 서울팀 (팀 리더 한철우), 천안에서 출발하는 광주팀 (한순권, 서상원, 이동호, 헤닉하우젠 외 1명), 그리고 아마도 춘천팀이 있을 것입니당. 팀을 구성하길 원하는 라이더들은 로타 헤닉하우젠 (alpinerandonneur@verizon.net)에게 연락 바랍니당. 팀 지원 및 루트 제출 마감은 2012년 2월 1일입니당.

Fleche

March 31 – April 1 (start 11:00 am). Fleche will finish in Gwangju

A Fleche (French word for ‘arrow’) is a team event.  Several teams will start from different parts of Korea on March 31 at 11 a.m. and meet 24 hours later in Gwangju, where we will have a celebratory lunch.  The total distance each team has to cover is at least 360km but the teams can decide to ride more than this distance.  Each team has to consist of 3 – 5 cyclists.  In order for a team to finish successfully, three members have to arrive in Gwangju within the 24 hour time limit.  Each team has to plan its own route with controls.  This route will be certified by Korea Randonneurs prior to the ride.  Fleche rules ensure that all teams will arrive at the destination (Gwangju) at the same time.  ‘Fleche’ rules dictate that each team has a 22 hour control approximately 25 km from Gwangju.  Each team is allowed to depart from this control only at 9 a.m. on Sunday April 1 and proceed to Gwangju.  At this point several teams have expressed interest.  There will be a team from Seoul (team leader Han Chul Woo), a Gwangju team starting from Cheonan (Han Soon Kwon, Seo Sang Won, Lee Dong Ho, Hennighausen and 1 other), a Waegwan/Daegu team (Morris, Boonstra, Park In Soo?) and possibly a team from Chungcheon.  Riders interested in forming a team should contact Lothar Hennighausen (alpinerandonneur@verizon.net).  Deadline for team applications and route submissions will be February 1, 2012.
