The rain stopped so I continued to ride in direction Takao over Tozawa Toge and I made the usual brak at the the 7-Eleven where I found much to my delight that they have replenished the jelly stand. <br /><br />I bought a sandwich and ... apair of socks. I forced a complete roll of toilet paper from the shop into my shoes and left the shop barefooted so that the shoes would get dry and my feet warm again. Then I put on the socks, removed the toilet paper and put the shoes on as well which by now were fairly dry. As was the weather: blue skies.<br /><br />So I thought that it would be nice to make a time trial approach up Otarumi. It was hard, mainly becuase of the strong head and crosswinds. Perhaps there was also some tial wind, but who notices something like that?<br />14:50 min - about a minute behind my personal best and probably the last try anyway.<br /><br />Then I completed the usual Sunday route to Tsukui lake, North road, Columbian druglord house, tank road, One-kan, Tusrumigawa and I was back at home by 3 PM. <br /><br />Somewhat to my surprise the whole ride turned out to have been 161 km long and covering about 1.700 m of elevation. (Already 20% substracted from the Ciclo display).<br /><br />Not according to plan but nice.mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740078823008165116noreply@blogger.com
