My original plan for Golden Week this year was to take my bike on a bus up north to Aormori, ride a loop Lake Towada then head back to Fukushima. That would have been 550 km over five days.

Unfortunately, while out cycling on Wednesday my right knee got a sudden sharp pain that flares up whenever I start to do any sort of serious cycling. No worries though, I decided to modify my plan and shorten my trip down to about 120 km, but instead of cycling I’ll be walking.

The new plan has me going from the station about 30 km southwest of the lake, walking to the lake and doing an almost loop, then heading to a different city’s train station about 40 km to the southeast of the lake.

I’ll see how this goes.
