It’s warm enough to throw a leg over and start getting back in riding shape. Yesterday was a great example of that.

The cherries are blossoming which makes it all the more special.

The 500 route until Yamanakako is clear and in good shape.

Early morning mist over Yamanakako and winter dried grass glowing under the early low sun under a bright blue sky. Perfecto!

For all those who’ve registered, you should’ve seen this route. It’s time to give it a go. At higher altitudes, there were many cherries yet to bloom so next weekend should still be blooming beautiful. Just make sure your steed is ready to run first. 😉

As for me, back to route polishing. 33 days to go!
