I experienced a refreshing feeling from the short practice with the temporary coach. Above all, I felt the pleasant sensation of the wind. Could creativity be born from here? Already, this amateur seems to be developing a habit…

I also consulted with Mr. Ito, the initiator of TURE DE TSUMARI, who had just completed the event recently. When I mentioned that I needed advice, he said that he would first like to hear about my current situation. A true architect, I couldn’t help but admire his attention to detail. He also looked up the elevation differences for the HCR in advance and suggested that I should ride for the expected duration to get a sense of my stamina and riding style. It does make sense…!
