Shimanami Kaido, a set on Flickr. Over the weekend I took a 154km (96 mile) bike ride with a group of ALTs (assistant language teachers) starting in Onomichi- shi, in Hiroshima Prefecture all the way to Imabari-shi, in Ehime, Prefecture and then back. 77km Saturday and another 77km Sunday. It was exhausting but absolutely breathtaking; it spanned over 6 islands and 6 bridges. It was my first long distance bike ride but definitely not my last. I almost lost my faith after the first day, mostly because as the end came nearer I thought more and more about all the time spent down hill that day that I would then be spending going up hill the next day. But I survived, and thankfully I had some great company for the trek. -- source link
