Early start at 4:00 AM, easy ride on mostly empty Tohoku expressway. A countryside pic immediately after getting down the expressway at Fukushima nishi
Valley shot from the skyline
Bandai San from distance
Beautiful summar day
A classic depiction of why you ride
More shots en route to Bandai san (quite a lot, i just couldnt stop taking pictures here)
Beautiful pics but it was starting to get hot already
The still smoking hills
And the volcanic footprints
The contrast within few 10’s of metres is striking
Bandai San crater
Few pics from top of Bandai San
Contuniung on the second skyline, another shot from view point
Couple of shots from the lake line.
Finally the Lake AKimoto
Past noon the temperature was already past 35 degree C. I just quit and went back home after this. Afternoon ride through expressway
in the summear heat was nothing short of horrible. Lots of stop’s drinks .. back home at 4:00 PM, 12 hrs, 717 kms
