Meandered over to Biwa then hit the gas for the loop. This Strava activity includes getting to and from the loop.

Just to check, I uploaded just the loop part to see its stats. Start-to-finish time for the 179.2km loop was 6:09:51.  Strava says moving time was 5:39:43 with an average speed of 31.7km/h.

I literally did not stop (wheels kept turning) for the first 125km, until I ran out of drink and made a konbini stop. Got lucky with traffic.

But the crosswind from Hakone around to the Shirohige Shrine was brutal, throwing me around. I appreciated the short respite that each passing truck provided.

Stopped for a photo at the Shirahige Shrine, but then no stops except the few times that traffic lights got me in Otsu.

Bummed that I missed my PR on Kozeki by one second, BOTH WAYS.
