The guys and gal from Seattle like to cycle separately and meet up at places along the way. Today's cycle started with a Lawson breakfast together in the morning, and then we split up and went our own way. It was a nice ride along the coast. At Haboro we all stopped to get some food together. We met at a crepe place where the others got crepes and ice cream. We then went to the harbour for lunch, where the chefs made me a fish teishoku plate. They were very helpful with my allergen suggestions and excitedly asked us to guess their ages. They looked young for people in their 40s! The guy especially was a cool looking dude. Right after Haboro I noticed my wheel was wobblying, so I cycled back to Haboro and had a car/bike mechanic look at it. He redid the spoke tension and I was on my way 45 minutes later. We stopped for the evening in Shosambetsu, which has a beautiful campsite. Due to my wheel issues I was later than everyone else, and all the guys were already at the onsen. I joined them there and showered. I then chilled in the relaxation area for a while. I didn't set up my tent until after dark.
