Shikoku & Tokaido Bike Trip -- Day 8

Without sightseeing Kyoto I headed to east. From there was a trip of Tokaido to Tokyo. Instead I decided not to go Route 1 but chose a course of going lake side of Biwa (琵琶湖) and then to Nagoya.

On the lakeside cycling road, I met two cyclists who came from Nagoya. They said my choice was right. Suzuka course is smoggy and has nothing particular to see. One of them came from Tokyo to Nagoya in one day from midnight by cross bike. They said some braves can bike from Tokyo to Osaka within 24 hours including time of buying water and foods. I was impressed that there are more and more challenging cyclists.

That night I stayed at here a famous reasonable price dorm expecting meeting travelers. But the day they have only me in the dorm. Autumn holidays for students were over. Instead of seeing travelers I could occupy the large place alone watching Dragons baseball game program.
