After repairing my shorts this morning I decided to test them out.

Took the Trek5.2 for a small spin up to 47 and then down and around Goryu then up the back of the hill to my favorite look-out.

Up there I had a nice chat with an elderly couple from Aichi who woke up this morning and decided to go for a drive. 240kms later they bumped into me.

So nice to meet and chat to people. The bicycle is one of the best tools and excuses to start up a conversation with anybody out there.

After meeting them and watching the clouds roll in I decided to go to the usual hot spa for feet and have a soak for 30minutes. Already 3:30pm and no lunch yet. Stopped off at the small bakery at the bottom of the hill and got myself 680 yen worth of fattening carbs. Yum!
