The Elusive Growler
Included several breweries in our cycle ride, hoping to procure a growler. The serving window at Indeed Brewing Company was open, but, like all the other breweries, they would not be serving until later. Hop forward will have to wait for another day.
Paths Less Traveled
Cycled in search of less-traveled paths.
May Peace Prevail on Earth
Spotted this on my cycle ride. The tower used to be part of a grain elevator. Now, it’s being incorporated into a new apartment complex. I tapped “Maanoo Da-bangan Miziwekamig” into Google and learned it’s Ojibwe. I wheeled my bicycle a little further to reveal the translation
DQ Time
It was almost 70°, I’d been pedaling hard, the service window was open, resistance was futile.
Twin Coast Cycle Trail
Rented bicycles, then cycled part of the Twin Coast Cycle Trail. The 54-mile rail trail connects the east and west coasts of New Zealand’s Northland.
Cycle Around Active Volcano
Rented modest bicycles from a modest shop for 4 hours. Cycled a loop around the base of a smoking, roaring volcano, Sakurajima, taking care not to slip on volcanic ash. When we returned the bikes 40 minutes earlier than planned, the owner refunded ¥200 each.
Cycling the Inland Sea
Took a ferry from Onomichi, where we’re staying in a “bicycle hotel,” to Ikuchi Island in the Seto Inland Sea. Rented bikes, then cycled back across islands and bridges (including the one in the photo), and past a children’s playground.
Cycling across the Sea
Rented bicycles, cycled across Japan’s Inland Sea on part of the Shimanami Kaido trail. The trail provides spectacular views as it crosses huge bridges and small islands.
Hot Shower
Sometimes a hot shower is all I need. Got caught in the rain while cycling.
