waking up lazily
I went to bed early last night due to my health condition, so I woke up rather early. I woke up around 6:30am. I slowly took a shower and got ready for the day, but I still didn't feel like I was in perfect shape....
I was too lazy to put on my riding boots, so I lingered in my room. I ended up checking out at 9:30. The parking lot for guests was already empty, not to mention the riders who had checked in at the same time yesterday and shared a parking space with me.
Today, we decided to take the quiet route home.
Zao Echo Line
That's why I used the highway yesterday to go through &Zao Echo Line, which I ran last month.from the opposite direction this time.
The sky was gloomy, but there seemed to be no need to worry about rain. We climbed steadily up to the other side of the pass, and the sun was shining a little.
After I parked for a while, I realized that this was the place where I saw a person who had gotten killed standing up because of the strong wind that was blowing when I was touring last time. It's interesting to see how the same road looks completely different coming from the other side.
We took a break to take another look at our touring equipment before heading down the mountain.
Go to the wide area farm road.
It was completely sunny when we arrived down there. The temperature was rising above 30 degrees Celsius. I stopped at a convenience store to drink some water and searched for a place to eat nearby. I look at my phone and say, "OK Google, lunch nearby," and then look at the screen....
Oh, there's a wide-area farm road in the right direction.I always get comments from people here."Bui"provided to us by"Good road Google My Maps"The road is also listed in
It was the middle of the Obon Festival, so we avoided the busy national highway and took this road....
No, seriously."The fast track"The mountain roads with their ups and downs and twists and turns are fun, but riding these roads reminded me of how good it feels to ride a motorcycle.
There was little traffic and almost no traffic lights. The countryside on both sides of the road is easy on the eyes.
We sang a song in the Met as we drove south toward Fukushima. In the future, we should not rely only on our smartphone navigation system, but also look for wide-area farm roads around us at rest points.
It was scorching hot down there. I went home early.
The temperature was rising rapidly. The temperature was rising rapidly. I slipped into the road station to get some soft ice cream .... We slipped into the roadside station.
But this roadside station is kind of all the rage. There was a long line of people waiting at the soft-serve ice cream stand inside the facility. I thought there must be some kind of local flavor, but I didn't feel like standing in line, so I just stuck with the regular chocolate and vanilla that was sold outside the facility.
While taking a break to catch my breath, I look at social networking sites and such on my phone, but I see a lot of ads targeting Miyagi and Yamagata, which I've already left behind because they are progressing at a faster rate than the ads delivered by geographic conditions.
By the way, planning for this kind of online advertising distribution is also a part of my job, so I had a perceptive view that "the targeting is too lax.
It was still around 1:00 p.m. after the break, but there would be traffic jams on the highway and my health was questionable, so I decided to get on the highway and head home. I searched on my phone and found that it would take less time to get on the Joban Expressway than the Tohoku Expressway, considering the traffic jam.
Following my phone's navigation system, I took the Ban-Etsu Expressway from the Funehiki-Miharu Interchange and had a tororo egoma bukkake lunch at the Abukuma Kogen SA.
After that, there were a few traffic jams of several kilometers, but we slipped through them and headed toward Tokyo, taking a long break in between. By nightfall, we reached the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway....
I turned on the air conditioner at home using the app on my phone at Komagata PA, the last rest stop.
We got home safely after 8:00. Today's mileage was about 430km.
Since I was not feeling well all the time, I had to warp a lot on the expressway, so I only drove about 1,000km in two days, which is the same distance as usual.
When I got home, I took a shower and ate the last stock of my favorite ice cream, which was no longer available due to the suspension of sales, and finished touring.
Reikish doesn't last long at all.
On the second day of our tour, the chain started to rattle again....orz
At first, as usual, I heard it when decelerating the engine, then when accelerating, and finally even when driving at partial throttle.
I had just adjusted the chain tension last week, so I checked it when I took a break just to be sure, but this time it wasn't because of that... I was out of chain oil....
Actually, when I asked for the chain adjustment, I also asked for cleaning and lubrication. At that time
- Chain oil
- chain lube
- rakish
I had three choices, but this rakish seemed to have run completely dry during yesterday's driving in the rain... It's been only 600-700km since I filled up the car, but I can't believe it's running out of oil like this!...
This oil is probably for people who don't do long tours, don't ride in the rain, and do chain maintenance every 200-300km.
I've ridden in the rain many times before, but this was my first experience like this. I knew it was Wako's chain oil too.
