A ride to enjoy hill climbs and a healthy lunch

Last week it rained, so it was our first gourmet ride in a week.
This time, we asked the cafe staff for lunch recommendations in Hatsukaichi City, so we rode from Hatsukaichi to Itsukaichi.

We departed from Grumpy at 11 AM and arrived at our lunch spot in about 30 minutes.

"Suminoya Sakura no Ohirugohan"
A lunch restaurant run by Suminoya Sakura, a yakitori shop.
Low-carb, high-protein, and body-friendly lunches.
With brown rice and rice miso, I felt healthier just by eating it.

Even after having dessert and feeling full, we kept riding.
When it comes to Hatsukaichi, the Gokurakuji hill climb spot is a must-visit.

Ikeda, who has recently been swept up in the road bike boom.

Is it the result of his training sessions?
Takenoshita climbs with apparent ease.

From Gokurakuji, we ride towards Uokiri Dam.

After a good ride, it's time for a cafe break.
We had coffee and canelés at Minagarten in Itsukaichi.

This is how our gourmet ride went.
See you next time.
