The longest cycling trip I've ever made twice was from Fussa past point David Cycling,  around Lake Okutama and returning by the way of Kazuma and Itsukaichi. It took 9 hours the first time. I brought back a 90 cm snake then; Nongkie loves snakes... wild life? Apart from "Mamushi" snakes I've encountered a ferret or was it a weasel? I've seen the signs with caution for bears and boars but haven't seen any yet. Signs with Gun-hunting prohibited are plenty. I suppose hunting with bow and arrow is OK... Birds, yes, they are the ultimate sound of being surrounded by green, green on the other side of the hill where the grass is greener still...

Usually I do not cycle more than half days, the round trip to  Hebino Yu (蛇の湯)(Kazuma) took 5 hours and a half however.

Autumn 2007 came, a last chance? Morning temperatures average above 15 C, but in the mountains it gets really chilly. Especially a distance of 18,4 km downhill (with uphill here and there) at an average speed of 41,2 km per hour it feels freezing cold!  Autumn outfit is warranted!
