Japan Summer 2024 - Day 27 • Kushima to Nejime

Japan Summer 2024 - Day 27 June 24, 2024 Kushima to Nejime 112 Km Start 6:51 AM Finish 5:38 PM Total Duration 10:47 Moving Time 7:23 Stopped Time 3:24 Ascent 1,488 m  Descent 1,488 m Tour Total 2,839 Km Details at: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/194429228 I slept well under the pavilion at Fukushimagawa Kasen Historical Park on the banks of the Fukushima River in Kushima. Last night it got hot inside my tent, and I didn't need my sleeping bag or my silk liner. Both fly side flaps were open to allow ventilation. It rained during the night and a few sprinkles made it inside, but I was mostly protected by the pavilion. Sunlight started streaming in early and I was able to sleep for another two hours. I used the picnic table to fold my gear, and there was a truck with a driver parked nearby. It was windy again today.

It was warm and cozy inside my tent. I had to get up several times during the night to use the nearby toilet. It got cold in the middle of the night and I had to zip up the fly flap and envelope myself in my sleeping bag and silk liner. Birds started chirping around 5am and I could hear human activity. The sun rises early here. It was a slow pack up. There's nothing worse than putting on cold wet clothing first thing in the morning. I made my way back out to Highway 20 and returned to the route. I relished every time the sun appeared. I was wearing my bib shorts, jersey, gilet, rain jacket, buff, leg-warmers, and a fresh pair of socks that I discovered had a hole. I made my way down th
