The Lastest, The Toughest, The Bestest




Today I head back to Tokyo so we left for our ride a little bit earlier than usual. And boy am I glad we did! This was the hardest ride of the entire five days. It began with immediate uphill and we climbed for over an hour and a half!

The road got steeper and steeper while the gravel became rocks, boulders and rivers. In a few places it was too rough to ride so e were forced to push our steeds up through the chest- high weeds, grass and thorns that blocked our way.

Three hours later and two boiled eggs with six arabiki german sausages each we finally made it back down to where we left the car.

The bikes lay where we left them as we made our triple espresso and enjoyed it in the 22C sunlight. Then we spread eagled ourselves on the warm concrete and fell asleep for a good 15-20 minutes.

The scenery was gorgeous. Gorgeous!

I wish I could add more than five photos to this email. Well enjoy!

I love you!
