A group of buddies headed down from Tokyo and I met them in Kamakura for a tour of my local roads. The point of the ride was about miles, not speed. Get everyone out and have fun while checking out the local scenery.
We did just that - hit up all the side roads we could find and spend lot of time on the coast or finding our way to the top of a bluff or two for a view of the coast. The Miura peninsula is beautiful and at times, while trying to get in the miles, it is easy to forget to look around.... not this ride!

Ride #2 was a different experience.
We headed out this morning and the pace was brisk... Usually we average a nice manageable 21mph - but today we were rolling between 24 & 26. I personally feel I ride a nomal ride at 80% effort - not today. 80% would have had me dropped in the first 10 minutes. Today was catch and wheel and hang on. Jump out front to do your part when need be and recover in the draft...
On strava, I set 22PRs on this route. The weather was much cooler than normal and everyone was amped.
Luckily - we got one picture of the group at the turn around point in Odawara and one picture of Fuji-san.
