June, 7th | Saturday - June, 8th | Sunday | Cycling **1/2
Please note the early sign-up deadline.
Join me on a cycling trip around Lake Biwa. This is fun trip with beautiful scenery along the way. On Saturday morning we'll start in Omi Hachiman on the east side of the lake, cycle around the top of the lake and halfway down the west side then spend the night in a beach-front minshuku in Omi Maiko. On Sunday after a morning swim (optional!) and breakfast we'll leisurely make our way back to Omi Hachiman, crossing over the Biwako Ohashi.
The cycling is flat and easy but we will be cycling 110kms on the first day and 50kms on the second so you need to comfortable with this.
The minshuku (incl 2 meals) costs 7,000yen (thanks to Koji for negotiating a good price!). Also bring money for drinks and snacks along the way and an onsen.
Sign-up deadline is TUES MAY 20. Email me to sign-up.
No cancellations please, or you will have to pay a cancellation fee.
Meet at Omi Hachiman station on Saturday June 7 at 9:05am (there is a train leaving Osaka at 08:00, arriving Omi Hachiman at 09:05)
Bring: bike (with light), helmet, puncture repair kit (I've got one but it'd be good to have another), food (lunch for Saturday and snacks) and drink, swimsuit, change of clothes etc.
Bedding is supplied at the minshuku.
This event is IOC members only.
