Riding a bike for 75 km is easier than you think

Last year I did not fulfill my new year's resolution. And almost half a year had passed when I firmly decided to complete it this year. And I did it twice and am feeling just right. 

I'm on my reverse way by bus passing the same bridges I crossed by bike on my way along the shimanami scenic sea route from Onomichi to Imabari.

This is a 75-km-long scenic cycling route.

You ride on the islands and cross a number of bridges above the seto inland sea connecting the islands; the more bridges you cross, the closer you are to the final destination of imabari in Shikoku.

Left Onomichi bike terminal at 8:50 am

Had lunch and a break from 11:30 to 12:45 at the Tatara park

Took a break for 15 minutes just before crossing the kurushima bridges

Got to imabari station bike terminal at 3:30 pm

Rode a bike in imabari 

Took a cycle bus bound for Onomichi at 4:50 (the bus came seven minutes late)

The bus will arrive at Onomichi in an hour and a bit more 

I think I'm cleaning or resetting my soul and body by doing this. And the real cleaning should be done at home later today taking a shower just so happily.

Curious about the white ferry boat which has been there probably for weeks. It says Tsugaru Strait ferry. That should be from the northeast of Japan.

The cycle train I'm taking; bikes and cyclists together.

Passing the kurushima strait grand bridge complex consisting of three continuous suspension bridges. About four km. 

Get your bike ready and start riding it in your neighborhood and then someday you will join me with the same joy of life that I appreciated today.
