I rode my Tokiwadai-Kiyose-Kunitachi-Machida-Yokohama-Ota-ku Circuit in reverse yesterday, Sunday, May 30. I tried to avoid taking Kan-nana Dori south although early on Sunday mornings it doesn't care much traffic. However, I missed a number of turns on the back streets and so didn't reach the Tokaido (Route 1) until 6 a.m., two hours after leaving home. Lesson: you can't review your route often enough to avoid mistakes. High point: I may have rescued a baby sparrow from certain death by picking it up off a street and setting it among some azalea bushes.
Today, Monday, I did my usual cool-down ride from Tokiwadai to Fuchu. Round-trip was just under 52 km. The extra load was 21 kilos on both days.
To listen or not listen? I'll be riding for at least 6 hours every day. As much as I'd like to stay alert, I'm tempted to get earphones and listen to music while biking. Perhaps I should save the music for long rest spells.
