Had the chance to spend a full day riding today so I threw together a route along the Tama river, past Ome and up to Okutama station via Ome-Kaido for a total of 129km round trip. I got a late start, departing close to 11am.
I originally planned to refuel at a cafe near Kouri station but it was closed to plodded on to Okutama station, and gobbled down some lunch and a cappuccino resting for about a half hour before heading back down.
Because I departed so late I was worried about it getting dark before I got home. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but after turning on my running lights on the way up to be seen in the shade and tunnels I was worried the batteries on my lights would run out. Hustling back I tried to conserve my lights as much as possible and just managed to make it home as my front light was showing low power.
