For some reason got it into me that this would be an interesting ride to say I did. Turns out it was great... lots of distance with just enough climbing to make it worth the bother.  Rained much of the time I was out of the city. (The "0% chance of rain" forecast at home apparently doesn't apply 100km away.)







Despite my having confirmed that the battery was fine the previous evening, ran out on my Shimano Di2 shifters. For the last 100km I was stuck in the small chainring and scared to use the front. A poor-man's (poor-planner's) fixie.







Still, made a PR on the super-sweet "Miyama Morisato Descent", despite spinning out at 45kph, but last time I did it I was with Gorm, so descents were social. Next time I'm there (with a non-empty Di2 battery), that KOM is so mine.



Saw monkeys a few times. Didn't see any wild bore, but ate some wild-bore ramen that was delicious. 



3rd longest ride (after one of my Biwako loops, and a round-trip to Nagoya).



なんとなく国道367と国道162を完全に乗るのは面白いかなと思った。結局楽しかった。距離はたっぷりし、登る部分は満足。雨はよく降った、京都以外にのは残念でした。







シフト機会（シマノDi2)は途中に電池はなくなった。前日は電池をチェックして、全然大丈夫なのに。最後の100キロは小ちゃいチェンリングしか使わなかった。後ろのシFツを使うのは怖いだから、あんまりシフトしなかった。
