Yesterday, I overslept and passed the Venus Line, so I thought today would be the day... I thought. Breakfast at the hotel starts at 7:00, so I set my wake-up call for 6:00.... Yes, I did. I woke up and got out of bed at 7:00....
My excuse is this.A little wet in the mountains yesterday with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.I think it's because I've been feeling a little dull, like I have a cold... So I thought, "If I eat breakfast from here, I'll have to leave at nine o'clock. So I left the hotel and got ready.
By the way, when we left the hotel, the cell was not turning very well. It failed to start three times. Each time it failed, the cell became weaker and weaker... I was able to start the engine just in time. I've been wondering about the battery lately, but the cold weather in the morning made the symptoms more obvious. It looks like it's nearing the end of its life. I'll have to replace it when I get back from this tour.
Aji Valley again
So, let's go to the Southern Alps first... I started to run, but it was still a bit dull. I decided to run on a road I knew today, and this is where I ended up.
Last summerThis was my second visit to the Atera Valley, following my visit to the Atera Valley in 2010.
It was a little too cool to play in the water, but perhaps it was because the leaves had not yet changed color. The Atera Valley, which was quite crowded last time, was empty. First, we went deep into the canyon. We went to a point where the road was closed to cars, and then turned around to find a point where we could go down to the river.
I remembered that the last time I went down to the river, there was a wooden bench on the side of the road, so I looked for it, but I couldn't find it. It was pretty battered from last year, so it must have been removed or broken by a typhoon... Or maybe it was destroyed by a typhoon. Finally, we found a place where the roadside was wider, so we stopped there and went to the riverbank.
Hmmm. Nice Adera blue.
Since I had a drink, I thought I could take a video like a commercial, so I took a picture with my phone, but there was no way I could do that easily....
It was a little too cold to play in the water, but we sat on the riverbank and took a break to look at the river for a while. At this time, I carried myHelinox ChairI've made the painful mistake of not bringing the...
It was a very pleasant time to take a break while listening to the murmuring of the streams and the birds. Next time I will try to come here when the leaves are changing color.
superb view
We continued northward along the Kiso River. It was a three-day weekend after a hot summer, and the weather was fine, so there were many riders passing by. I love winding roads with elevation changes, but riverside roads are also very nice and relaxing.
We were getting hungry around here, so we slipped into a soba noodle shop that caught our eye....
We had a large lunch of walnut soba noodles on the terrace with a spectacular view.
Shortcut from Kiso to Ina
With a satisfied stomach, we continued north... But, considering my slightly questionable health condition, we decided to continue north.&The work I skipped last night.To clean up theI'll be heading home a little early today. Looking at the map on my phone, I took a short cut from Kiso to Ina.
In no time at all, we were on the eastern side of the Alps.
As I rode along the winding road through the mountains, I felt that the rear load was a little more effective than usual because I had a lot of stuff in my side bag this time, including a B6 that I never used, a Helinox chair, and a laptop for work.
Go home early
From here on, we quickly got on the highway. The rest of the way was a straight shot home. On the way, we took our usual soft-serve ice cream break at the Yatsugatake PA. This time it was Kinako (soybean flour) + molasses + Shingenmochi (rice cake).
We slipped through the usual traffic jam at the Kobutsu Tunnel on the Chuo Expressway and got on the Ken-O Expressway. We slipped into the Atsugi PA to finish dinner before heading home.B-grade gourmet food that I missed during the touring in Julyis the goal....
This time, I was able to find a tonteki in Yokkaichi. The taste was... Well, I guess that's what PA food is like.
So, I finished the meat garlic charge and went home quickly. I feel like I've been touring a lot lately, especially on the way home... I'm sorry.
