Road cycling 3:45:00 [3] 75.0 km (3:00 / km)
shoes: Hired/borrowed clunker
Fuji 4 lakes tour. Fuji-san was resplendent in the sun with a snow cap, and later in the day some fluffy cloud on it's flank. There was a different view from several parts of this ride - photos can be found on PP's fb page.
We were grateful for the guide, because he knew all the quiet back roads, and also provided cake and cookies from his wife's cafe for our morning tea.
Bikes were low grade Trek road bikes, but with SPDs still much better than taking the hybrid option which probably would have extended the ride by an hour or more, and it was already pretty cold by the time we got back to Kawaguchiko at 3.30pm. Need to add an extra layer for tomorrow's ride.
Our first onsen back at the hotel was much appreciated, and the full Japanese kaiseko menu has loaded us up for tomorrow.
