It's a four-day weekend. Actually, I had booked a hotel in Fukushima and Gunma on the first and second day with GoTo, and was planning to go on a long tour after a long time, but... Unfortunately, I had to cancel due to urgent work... Unfortunately, I had to cancel due to an urgent job... On the third day, I had to go to the veterinary clinic, so I couldn't ride the bike either.
The boy in the photo is my second son, but my first son may have a slightly bigger disease. The cost of the veterinary clinic for the past month, including tests and hospital visits, was enough to buy a YAMAHA CELLOW!...orz So, it was good to save money and cancel the overnight stay... So we only toured on the last day of the consecutive holidays.
I had set my alarm for 3:00 a.m. to go to the Bandai-Azuma Skyline, but of course there was no way I could wake up. It was almost 9 o'clock when we left....
For now, I'll go to a nearby place... So, I took the Chuo Expressway towards Yamanashi... But as I got on the highway, I heard something clicking on my helmet. I just got on the highway and slid into the Ishikawa PA to check it out....
Parts for GoPro jaw mount that I put on 3 years ago.The double-sided tape on the front panel was almost peeled off....
I guess 3M's super strong double-sided tape is about to reach the end of its life.
After that, we headed out on the Chuo highway with the Ninja 650, which was running great with the cooler temperatures of autumn. I checked the tire pressure on the way....
Kiyosato for the second week in a row.
We went through a comfortable winding road to Kiyosato. The chin mount is off, so I can't take a video this time....
Actually, I was in this area last weekday....
Last week we went to Kiyosato Terrace, which is not accessible by bike.
That's when I went here.
It's a little hard to go there unless you're with a girl.Kiyosato Terrace。
At an altitude of 1,900 meters, there is a sofa where you can relax and enjoy the scenery at the top of the ski resort area by lift.
I had reserved a premium seat in advance, so I rented a blanket at the reception desk and lounged around looking at the scenery and sky.
We also stopped at some farms that we don't usually stop at when touring.
Kiyosato Terrace, highly recommended for a day out with the girls.
Drinking milk and passing wheat grass
Well, today is a solo tour. There is nothing to do in Kiyosato. After a short break, we continued to run and took another break here.
I'm going to have fun with a soft-serve ice cream float in milk.
It's been a while since I've been on a tour under the clear autumn sky, and it feels super good. We continued on through the Mugusa Pass....
It's much cooler at higher elevations... No, a little bit cold. I was wearing a long t-shirt, mesh jacket and gloves, so I didn't even take a break at the pass because I was so cold. I had to turn on the grip heater. The mountains were already starting to turn red.
The paddy fields at the foot of the mountain are now ready for harvest.
Ate some ramen and went home.
I thought about going straight to the Venus Line, but time was not on my side, so I decided to get gas first....
Gasoline for humans is Harbin Ramen. The day before, an acquaintance of mine had sent me a message saying that he had eaten there, so I had a craving for ramen, too.....
Did I order too much? No, I'm the one who finishes most of the food at Jiro restaurants in the fastest time, so I had no problem finishing it.
After that, we took Route 20 for a while, heading towards Tokyo, but on the way, we took the Chuo Expressway... I got on, but... I got on the road, but... the traffic sign said 30km from Otsuki to Kobutsu Tunnel.
It's been a long time since I've encountered a major traffic jam. We took a short break at the SA before entering the traffic jam, and when we started driving again, the traffic sign said 40km... A nice sign saying that it would take more than 4 hours to get to Takaido... As expected, I drove through the traffic jam while turning on the hazards, and took a last rest at Atsugi PA on the Ken-O Expressway.
We returned home before 8:00 p.m. and finished the touring with a distance of about 420 km.
