I want to make it a habit once a week.

Last week on my day off, I went to Nokojima by bicycle.

Although it is a very nearby remote island,
I've been thinking about going but haven't been able to go yet,
My long-cherished wish came true and I finally visited.

Since it's a small island, there isn't really anything special to do.
Although it is natural that nature is rich because it is an island,
The scenery is somewhat familiar to me, having grown up on the island of Hiroshima.
It still makes me feel calm.
But this time it's bicycle "touring", so
I didn't come here to relax.

Noko Island itself is not that big, so
There are almost no flat roads for bicycles, mostly slopes.
There are times when there are steep hills that will break your heart, so
This is a very rewarding stage for cyclists.
However, since it is not possible to run that much,
I can't say anything too grandiose (lol)

Going back and forth from flat land to slopes at an altitude of about 200m,
The view of the seaside spreading out below is truly spectacular.
The view makes you forget the pain of cycling,
Even those who don't ride bicycles should have fun.
The observatory in the center of the island is worth going to!


The island you can see ahead is Shika Island, which we visited last time for strawberry picking.
At that time, I went there by car.
The location seems like a good place to ride a bicycle or motorbike.
Next time we are planning touring Shikajima,
I'm looking forward to going now.

Why did you become addicted to cycling in the first place?
It was also influenced by "Yowamushi Pedal" , which I wrote about in a previous blog.
I have always loved motorcycles.
But right now I don't have a bike I want to ride,
In the unlikely event of an accident, there is a high possibility of an accident resulting in instant death.
Considering the various risks, I won't ride a motorcycle at the moment.
At such times, when I talked to customers who love cycling, I realized how interesting cycling is.
I'm completely hooked now.

If you're riding a bicycle, you won't have a major accident unless something goes wrong.
It is also a type of ``sport'' that can be continued no matter how old you are.
For now, once a week is fine,
I think it would be good if I could go out for a while,
I would love to be able to participate in Eroica in Italy someday.
