I had not expected much for this route but actually there was not. Besides it began raining from the morning and it continued until my finish. The rain area was limited this area only in JPN.
I wanted to finish ASAP in this condition, so I took only Route-4 toward Hiraizumi station. The road was not designed for cycling and not well maintained(pic.2).
This time’s goal was Hiraizumi, since it was my previous trip’s goal (ref. B-5: Kesennuma to Hiraizumi). I reached the station at 12:00 in a heavy rain and reached my home before 17:00.
Now my total route was extended to Kazuno(ref. B-8: Hachimantai hill climbing) from the West edge of Japanese main island (ref. G-5: Nagato to Shimonoseki). My next challenge will be to reach the North edge of Japanese main island, Aomori prefecture, Shimokita peninsula.
