Left early in the morning and had a quick break at this rest stop 20 km from home, I'm at the red rectangle on the map. Heading from right to left following the coastline and down and off the map passed the golf course. Went back home on the same road.
The coast roads are deserted after summer ends.
Torri at Futamigaura Beach.
The rest stop is a popular spot for road bikes and a bike rack is provided.
Took a few detours to explore the headlands and beaches away from the main road. Was a mix of gravel, singletrack in pine forests, and double track service roads. I prefer my wider down-hill riser bars but switched to flat bars for this trip as most of the riding was on sealed roads.
It is rice harvesting time.
At Keya No Ohto. It's the largest basalt cavern in Japan. The cave entrance faces the ocean.
Hiked over the top of the ridge and rode along the track on the edge of the rocky beach below.
Just under 92 km in total.
