Sunday 20th Oct great result last night England stuffed the Aussies, Sandra & I watched it in an English bar in Oaska, Keith & Linney had tickets, fair play we could have had tickets, but Sandra is flying home very early in the morning, so we could not take them up on the very generous offer of tickets, another bonus point for me, the doting husband I am!
Very early start I, up at 05:15, walk Sandra to the station, sort the tickets out and say are farewells again, only for 3 weeks this time, as I have booked a flight home on the 6th November.
Then back to the hotel, breakfast then get the bike ready, to be honest I was pretty nervous, not of riding on my own, just getting out of Oaska, then riding through all the busy towns and cities, really not my forte, especially without the expert map reading skills of Linney not being thereto guide me. Hence I had picked a relatively easy route out of Oaska, down to the river then follow the river to the outskirts of Otsu, then follow lake Biwa around to Takashima nothing could go wrong.
To be perfectly honest I was quite pleased with myself all went pretty smoothly to the river bank. Through the cycle track was very good with loads of road bikes on it, every few miles they did put in some serious barriers to stop vehicles, which were ok for road bikes, but a pain with all the panniers on, soon got the hang of it though. So enjoyed traffic free cycling for the first 25 miles, excellent following the river and watching all the sports going on, rugby, football, baseball, tennis, golf, with a bit of rowing and kayaking thrown in, all in all a good mornings ride.
The hit a busy road into Otsu, had lunch on the very nice promenade of lake Biwa, then carried on a minor road hugging the lake. I knew the rugby was on at 16:15, so really wanted to be done around 15:30. Just coming up to that time overtook a guy on a shopping bike with a massive backpack on, said the normal “hello” he replied the same with a massive Manc accent, ended up watching the first game with him and his mate from Guernsey and they sorted a place for me to stay at a friends of theirs place about 8 miles down the road. Sat watched the rugby, went carful on the beers ish , then moved onto the Japanese style lodge and hot spring Onse they had arranged for me. Well the place was superb, unfortunately no WIFI so I went to the local bar and caught the 2nd half of the game. The hot spring Onsen was really good, where were they when we needed them a couple of months ago: felt brand new when I came out, bit pink but nevertheless very relaxed.
