This weekend we headed to Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture to begin our 70 Km bike ride! Saturday started with a little rain but luckily not enough for us to cancel our trip. We left Onomichi and caught a ferry with our bikes to the next island. We rode 35 Kms along beautiful coastal roads and crossed 3 bridges before arriving at the camp grounds in Tatara. We had onsen, cooked curry and spent the night in cottages.

We got up early and had a big breakfast before heading on to Imabari - our final destination, another 35 Kms away. We crossed another 3 bridges and saw many amazing views before arriving in Imabari. We stopped near the last bridge for lunch and had an amazing seafood BBQ. It was a great weekend with great people and I am glad we kept a very relaxed pace because I was still sore for a few days afterwards!
