Since our life has been backing to normal like before covid 19, so working in office, having drinking after work, traveling world etc. One of the habit I got during covid 19 is road bike cycling that I started when I lived in Singapore. It must help to keep my heath.
Because weather in Japan is very widely changed as season, it’s not easy to maintain my motivation to keep riding in Summer and Winter…. Also backing to normal life, gradually getting far from riding life.
But luckily got chance to join “CYCLING SHIMANAMI 2024” which is International casual cycling event on a world-class cycling course. I cycled around the area in 2021, but it’s first time for me to join the such kind of cycling event. Even it’s not racing, there are some time limitation since we can ride on expressway around Shimanami islands. I felt some pressure by time limitation, but successfully passed all of the gates and accomplished the course (65km from Imabari to Mukaishima) with my bike (Bianch Olter XR3).
It’s so valuable experience and fully enjoyed expressway ride with magnificent scenery around Shimanami islands.
