昨日面白い場所に泊まった。場所は興部(オコッペ)っていうクッチャロ湖から南に100kmくらい行った酪農の町。
Stayed interesting place last night that is in Okoppe Town located 100km south from Lake Kuccyaro.

何せ宿泊施設が古い電車。中に畳がしいてあって、だれでも無料で泊まれる。サイクリストとかバイカーが集う場所になってて、3名のバイカーと一緒になった。みんなで夕方らか酒のんで楽しかったな～ これが旅の醍醐味だよね。
They made a hostel out of old train. There are Tatami mats on the floor.so people can lay down. Heard that this place is pretty famous for cyclist and motor cyclists to stay at. Met 3 motor cyclists, and drunk with them which was fun. This is the best part of traveling.





近くの地元のスーパーのご主人、松村さんにも夜ビールをご馳走になって、何か楽しい一日だったな～
Also, was invited to drink with by Mr. Matumura who owns a local super market.

ま～ こんな感じで順調に南進中。体重も6キロ減でございます。昨日、2週間ぶりに風呂に入った時にビックリしたわ。大学の頃の体型に戻ったわ！
Anyway, so far, peddling well. Lost 6kg since at the beginning. Went to public bath and found it. Was so surprised. This weight is the same as when I was university student.

いろいろ、世界戦に向けた必要な物とか、必要じゃないのがはっきりわかって来た。
From the beginning, am trying to figure out which items I need to take or not to take to the world bike tour. Getting clear about it.

特に重要そうな改善点は、
①サドルの交換
②ステムの交換
Couple of important items to change.
1. Saddle
2. Stem

②は旭川で済んだけど、①のサドルは帰ったらだな。今はSella Italia の結構良いやつ付けてるけど、ケツが痛くてかなわん。なれると思ったけど無理だな。ターゲットはブルックスの皮サドル。
I changed the stem in Asahikawa on the way, but my saddle is not yet. Actually, changed to Sella Italia one before this trip, but it doesn't work well. So painful for my bud.. Once I go back to my home, will buy probably Brooks one.

2週間ぶりに風呂に入った～ 正に昇天
It's been 2 weeks out of hot tub bath.
