Diary

Too much signals in Tokyo, it took time to pass Tokyo. At last I reached Koshigaya and when I stopped at diner for lunch, rire tire bursted with terrible sound.(I might mistake air pressure in this morning.) Owing to Hattori Cycle (bike shop in front of Koshigaya Sta.) I got new tire and tube.

Route 4 was renewed and had very good shoulders. I ran fast in the follow wind. Kanuma is far and I could not reach, but I got in Tochigi Pref.
