Today wasn’t my first time on Miura peninsula by bike but the first time I made it in just one day. Did choose though I think a different route. At least it seemed much flatter than I remembered it.
I had my bike still all packed up from the ride to Odawara with my friends and earlier this week, so had decided to take advantage and start the ride somewhere outside of Tokyo. When looking for ideas, Miura peninsula came along. It’s a rather famous cycling destination from Tokyo, but frankly I am not sure I like it that much. Specially the part from Mizakiguchi to Zushi and further on to Enoshima has heavy traffic. So heavy that the cars hardly advance. For us cyclists it is possible to pass the cats on the left, but it isn’t the same fun as just riding.
However one has to admit that the views over Tokyo Bay are nice.
Around Mizakiguchi the peninsula is quite rural at least when one manages to escape from the main road, then one is surrounded only by cabbage and daikon. So many of them, that actually the entire region smells cabbage.
Shortly before Enoshima, Fujisan made its appearance.
From Enoshima I entered one of the typical Japanese cycle paths along a river. This one after Fujisawa becomes a really nice one. But even better was the end in Koza Shibuya at Ofuro no Oosama, one of my preferred Super sentos in the Kanto area.
