5:30 today we're going to Asaka okay how
did you get over you gonna take Utica
Napier yes because up
[Music]
all right so we're riding through Nagoya
right now which is the city where we
live in and the not too bad you're not
too busy since it's early in the morning
so this weekend we're going to Osaka
it's gonna be about 200 kilometers in
total gonna be a long day we'll see how
long she lasts
[Music]
checking in we're at about 33 kilometers
in so about 15% total distance if you
can see we've got a pretty big mountain
range behind us that's our big climb of
the day a big challenge Sun starting to
come out we ran into a little bit of
rain but it wasn't too bad we took
shelter under a bridge ate a snack and
it was over pretty quick looks like
we've got nice clear weather straight
ahead a bit cloudy rain over there so
we're avoiding that which is nice anyway
we're going to continue on before it
starts to get hot
[Music]
so as you can see the computer it's
about 9:30 a.m. we're at about 55 K is
in let me show you our setup we're just
stopping for a little snack right now to
feel up before we go into the
countryside and have nothing left so
these are my new bags
I don't normally ride with a rack or bag
so it's quite heavy and getting pretty
tired pretty quick but waterproof we're
truly well since we already ran into the
rain and can open them nice and quick
just by unfastening these got the GoPro
on the front so hopefully gonna get some
good camera angles while riding Garmin
light and to one's bike we're borrowing
a friend's bike since she doesn't have
one of her own right now nothing on her
bike right now though we've got this
wreck
amano Joshua he he taketh Arden night
because
[Music]
looks like we have to go through this
tunnel but apparently it's four
kilometers long the space on the sides
not too wide so hopefully we'll be okay
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
seven dkn just finished going through a
nightmarishly long tunnel about four
kilometers long there was a space to
walk on the side but too narrow to ride
a bike it was too risky you could just
fall off and get hit by a car speeding
by the cars were going at really fast
speeds so we decided we could either
walk in and take forever or we could
ride through on the part with the cars
and just try and go when there weren't
many cars and if cars came we'd get off
to the side in the end we made it
through nightmarish though don't
recommend that route if you can avoid it
if all possible try something else
anyway we came across this beautiful
River just super white rocks beautiful
water as you can see here
absolutely beautiful here in the
mountain part of Japan countryside not
too many cars not too many people a lot
more space than than the city lot
fresher air which is nice and of course
a lot better sights we're gonna push on
and I really am not familiar with this
train I don't even really know the
course we're taking two I'll just
plugged it in Google Maps downloaded the
route and put it in my Garmin so we'll
see where it takes us
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
85 KN getting some food oh yeah :
that's a hockey mask hola Dora
unban baba so we're about 100k in
probably about pretty close to exactly
the halfway point maybe a little over
not quite sure where we're sitting at
one of our friends tonight who lives in
Osaka so not sure exactly where that is
so we'll see what the total distance is
when we get there yeah quick a little
break right here this rest area I'm
feeling up on some drinks and just gonna
continue on lately which has been going
through some pretty rural areas some
pretty narrow roads but I'm still pretty
busy with cars so not quite countryside
but still some amazing views along the
way so far unfortunately can't film at
all we're already going at a pretty slow
pace it's been about six hours we've
been on the road we have between all the
breaks and all the filming takes a
little longer and all the weight from
the bikes anyway let's keep going
[Music]
we've hit 135k starving these calories
taking a quick little break to eat can't
find any good restaurants or anything
we're getting tired of convenience store
food but I have a few snacks some
granola bars so we're gonna eat that try
and continue on right by Kyodo no
actually only about 10 kilometers from
Johto it says on the science but
important we don't have time to go into
the city and check it out but you got to
go straight to Osaka today so see you
next time kill it off 140k found a
convenience store gonna get some food
gonna try some coca-cola lemon finally
made it to the river path so hopefully
no more cars and smooth sailing Earth's
the way to Osaka from Kyoto one of the
most annoying things about the barriers
they have set up pretty much every
kilometer which pretty much forces you
to get off your bike you can try and
ride it but I wouldn't want to risk it
and as you can see yeah this doesn't
work all right let's do that 50 more
times
[Music]
Chev recycling in Kyoto or Osaka region
never cycle on this path because it
looks like this it's nice for a while
and then it dead-ends at the train
because yeah and they got this path here
but it's way too steep to walk around so
looks like we're gonna have to cycle
back quite a ways and work our way
around this look what they do
at least the trains look cool
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
absolutely loving all these barriers
they have on the river path it's
actually a really nice path it's one of
the widest paths I've seen here in Japan
lots of people using it which is nice
but there's one right here as you can
see and another one right there too
right in a row
it's about 545 now we're at 173
kilometers and we're getting pretty
close to the outskirts of Osaka now
which is nice starting to get a little
dark but the colors auto correcting so
it looks lighter than it actually is but
hopefully we should arrive at her
friends just right as the sun's
completely done
[Applause]
[Music]
finishing the day at 184 kilometers and
at 6:30
oh whoa yo bikes are locked up and all
right her friend's apartment which is
pretty cool location right by the
highway so a little bit noisy but we've
got a nice little roof patio here right
in downtown Osaka which is pretty cool
you don't see roof hangout areas like
this too often so not be a party tonight
get some good recovery and we're gonna
have some fun
con con or die da da da da mama died
without the vehicle Jory they re massive
Thank You Tammi oh there
[Music]
