I thought it would be ok to cycle a metric century before having breakfast. I was wrong. I ran out of energy nearly 90K into the ride!

The city of Kiryu hosts a brilliant antiques market the first Saturday of every month. In this video I cycle from Karuizawa to Kiryu along beautiful mountain roads. The weather conditions are excellent, with nearly 100% visibility. This route should not be overlooked by any cyclist exploring the mountains of rural Japan!
