17/10/07 08:47Total miles: 150 (yay!)
You can expect my mileage to go way, way down as I get used to the fact that Raleigh has hills in it. (And a handful of new-bike and riding-in-traffic issues: omg left turn! omg toe clips!)
Even the very hard settings on the fitness center's stationary bike don't really replicate the "pant, pant, out of breath, heart gonna explode" of the hills around here.
In Ichinohe now. Birthplace of Nonaka Minoru, who drew the manga for "Farewell Battleship Yamato" and "Kamen Rider SD," among others.
Incidentally, the particular Aomori-Iwate route I've been following runs roughly through a number of towns and cities called schichinohe, rokunohe, gonohe, sannnohe, ninohe, ichinohe. Literally translated this is 'seventh door, sixth door, fifth door, third door (there might be a #4 I didn't see), second door, first door." And it's been kind of cool to count down the numbers.
