| Diary |
 When I got of train at Takaya and opened my bike bag, I found the flat tire. I changed my tires for this touring the day before
yesterday. This is the 3rd time of flat tire after changing tire. And all
flat tire occured at the root of valve, so I could not fix it, just change
the tube. I felt very uneasy for this tour.
I changed the tube at uninhabited station and ran in the night. When I
ran in the Shonai plains, I saw the light of fireworks. Being led by the
fireworks, I reached Tsuruoka.
"Stage 3" has begun. |
