What a great day for a ride! It's been a long time since I last wore knee warmers instead of leg warmers, or didn't have to put on shoe covers to keep my feet from freezing.

Afternoon ride out to Uenohara on Route 20, then up the mountains and through the tunnel (I forgot its name) over to Hinohara-kaido, then down to Itsukaichi, Hachioji, and home. The Hinohara-kaido is in really bad condition right now. There's a lot of construction and the road surface is really torn up.
