Travelogue

In december 2012 Emma and me had to give up Crystal line night ride due to ice on roads. We decided to give it another try given it is April already. 9:00 AM meet at Ihikawa PA on Chuo followed by blast down to Nirasaki. From Nirasaki we took route 27 to Crystal line. Temp 4-5 degrees, clear roads, we enjoyed the 27 section

The combination of my PIAA 530 plus ADVMonster LEDs is awesome

Finally we hit Crystal line. Arakawa Dam on Crystal line

Despite being dark it was quite a nice ride, lots of open and tight twisties combo

And then the disappointment

Couldn’t believe we were denied this fun again.. but the blockade was too tight, no way for us to pass our bikes thru’

So we decided to take a detour, this road is not so well travelled but atleast we were heading north

And then….

Couldnt control myself this time

Anyhow, turn back, another detour and well… the North was well guarded

Finally we had to give up. Headed back, did some more touring on Route 27 and 7, coffee break and then Chuo back home.

Where it ended this time

Total distance – ~320 kms
