in Aomori

We went to a rental bicycle and boat shop near our hotel in the morning. We borrowed 2 mountain bikes from the shop. We enjoyed the ride around Towada lake all day. The distance that we cycled was about 50 km. There were continuous uphill roads for about 6 km, so we had to walk with the bikes for the distance. It started to rain heavily, but we kept walking. When we reached the top of Ohanabe mountain beside the lake, it poured rain. It couldn't be helped, we took shelter from the rain at the roof of a public bathroom. It became light rain, so we kept cycling again. Then there were continuous downhill roads for about 6 km, so we had to keep going down the roads. There were many loops in the mountain roads, so I went down the roads carefully. Then we took a rest at a cafe in a hotel, and we kept cycling again. I took many pictures of the scenery on my way to cycling around the lake. We finally reached the rental bicycle and boat shop at 4:30p.m. I was exhausted, but I was really happy to achieve cycling around the lake.
