This is the year-end and new-year touring by bicycle.
Dec-30 (43.9km) Home -- (Route 20, Route 411) -- a friend's place in Hachioji .
Dec-31 (65.2km) His place -- (Route 20 (Ootarumi Pass), Lake Sagami, Lake Tsukumi) -- My relative's place .
Ootarumi Pass (Border between Tokyo and Kanagawa) --- the highest place I ever pass by bicycle (392m); very tough with my hybrid bike.
Katsuse Bridge (勝瀬橋)
Border between Kanagawa and Yamanashi.
Year-crossing noodles for lunch.
Sagami River
Lake Tsukui (津久井湖)
Jan-02 (74.5km) My relative's place -- (Yaen Kaido --- Tama Cycling Road) -- Kawasaki Daishi (川崎大師) -- Home .
Tama Cycling Road
Tama River
Kawasaki Daishi Annex for praying transportation safety --- wanted to pray for bicycle-riding safety but gave it up because they said it costs 5000 yen.
Kawasaki Daishi (川崎大師) --- very crowded. Had to wait the queue before making a new year praying
Yakushi Hall of Kawasaki Daishi --- contrary to Main Hall, there were only few people. Could confortably make a wish.
On the way back, Tokyo Tower showed 2010 on its digital displays.
Sagami River, Lake Tsukui and Tama, kirei !!! A place of peace and calm.
