I know this isn't helpful in a pinch, but I love the program Cycle Around Japan on NHK. Every episode is a cyclist on a 3/4 day bike trip around different areas of Japan stopping to visit different natural scenery and locals. Very soothing and interesting. Only problem is now I'll need to take about two years to visit all the amazing different places via bike.
Have a great trip, Will in MPLS On Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at 12:16:04 PM UTC-5 John Rinker wrote: > Yes, Frakern, I forgot about that one! This is a beaufitul ride!
