加悦岩滝自転車道 - Kaya, Iwataki Cycling Road
今日、もう一つの易しいライドを紹介したいと思います。それは天橋立の文殊から加悦ＳＬ広場までのルートです。山と丘が全然ないですので彼女でも、家族でも楽に行ける道です。今の季節は素晴らしいです。なぜなら、色んな花がいっぱい見えるし、田圃の緑と田んぼの水の反射が非常にきれいです。広い田圃が草原のように見えて、ニュージーランド人としてとても懐かしい気持ちです。海岸に沿って、川に沿って、路線に沿って、広い田圃の中、面白いライドです。ＳＬ広場だけではなく古墳公園とちりめん街道等も色々があります。
Today I want to introduce one more easy ride. That is the course from Amanohashidate's Monju to Kaya Steam Locomotive Square. There are no mountains or hills, so it's suitable even for your family or girlfriend. This season is really nice. That's because you can see many kinds of flowers, the rice fields look nice and green and you can also still enjoy the reflections in the rice field's water. The sprawling rice fields look like green pasture, which fondly reminds me of my home country, New Zealand. Along the coast, along a river, along a railway track, through spacious rice fields, it's an interesting ride. You can not only see the Steam Locomotive Square at the end of the cycle road, but also places like the 'Ancient Tomb Park' and 'Chirimen Silk Road' along the way.

向こうは何でしょうか。住宅地の中の家と思いますが、なんか変わっているね。カメラのズームを使うとびっくり...What's that over there. Looks like a house in a residential area, but something seems different. A bit of a surprise when I zoomed in on it with my camera.

ハプニング。パンクした。タイヤに釘が突き刺さっていた。うそ！持っているポンプはバルブのサイズに合わない。信じられない。優しい知り合いの近くにある店に行って、ポンプがなかったけれども、隣から貸していただきました。本当に助かりました。パンクを2か所に直したが、また途中空気が抜けて今度岩滝にあるガレージに行って私の持っている新しいチューブを入れてから、ガレージのエアを使った。
Oh no! A puncture. Found a nail sticky right into my tire. What's worse is my pump doesn't match my valve size. Unbelievable! I just assumed it would. So I go to a nearby shop of a person I know. She didn't have a pump but borrowed one from the neighbor. I patched 2 holes and continued on my way. However, the air slowly leaked out of another hole. So I went to a garage in Iwataki and after replacing the tube with one I had, I used the garage's air to inflate my tire.

今度STRAVAのスマホアプリを使ってみた。とてもいいアプリです。全部で44.3㎞を走った。4時間31分のライドになってしまったけれど、実際移動していた時間は2時間21分だった。平均時速は18.8km/hrで、最高の時速は35.3km/hrだった。
