🍁 Koyo Cycling to Uji 🍵 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏾🚴‍♂️

Let’s go cycling to see beautiful autumn leaves!

We’ll go down to Uji along the Uji River. The course is about 40km long, mostly flat. Bikes have to be cross, road, or mountain bikes, mama-chari (city bike) can do, but not recommended. It’s a free event.

[Itinerary]
10:00 Meet & greet in front of 8black birds cafe
10:15 Start riding
11:30 Arrive at Uji: Lunch break in a cafe or take out from a convenience store
12:30 Head to Amagase Dam
13:30 Stop by Macha place for a short break
14:00 Leave Uji
15:45 Come back to Shichijo (You can leave early if you live in the south side of the city)

It can be done in 5 hours at a normal speed but I added an extra hour so that we don’t have to hurry.

[Important Notice]

• Cycle safely! (*I’m not responsible for your safety, you are!)
• Please make sure you are covered by insurance and understand the traffic rules in Japan.
• There are some points where we share a narrow road with cars and pedestrians. Try not to speed too much.
• Check the condition of your bike before you ride.
• Bring water, some cash and a helmet.
• In case of bad weather, I’ll update the status by 9 p.m. the day before.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
