6 days cycling in Japan with Oka Tours
Why I'm still wearing a mask - ruclips.net/video/-nAdNkaNdvg/видео.htmlsi=DFZ-2IRSvzoP5Kr-&t=763
This 6-day japan travel cycling adventure perfectly balanced challenging cycling with authentic local experiences, while the japan trip fostered an amazing cycling community among our small group. This was my first guided cycling tour and it felt indulgent! Luggage, snacks, accommodations, any mechanic related issues, bikes(if renting) and water all taken care of. I wanted a small group dynamic (less than 10 people), new onsen every night :D , and be at a reasonable price point. Oka tours fit the bill! www.okatours.com/

    Unfortunately crashes and cycling will always be a factor in risk for reward, its in our nature to press the boundaries, our expectation vs ability sometimes gets the better of us though whether it be novice or pro, these are the margins that we unknowingly and sometimes knowingly dance with, and this allure that alot of us gravitate to that makes cycling so intoxicating.❤ Glad that you are ok, wish you great rides ahead!

    what an awesome video, Japan is so beautiful and diverse place i have seen from videos like this anyway. never been but always love the culture and have some climbing friends from places like Japan & Korea. From what people say its a very clean country, and inline weather with Vancouver Island in Canada, just a big ocean between :) how did you find the diet Carolin? the temples are always very impressive, & general building architecture. Thanks for making this wonderful scenic cycling video, i hope you are healing after the horrible accident earlier in the year. i know how you feel after 10 surgeries in the last 6 years Jaw surgery is not nice thing to go through and takes time to heal. we do miss that beautiful smile :)

    • @bikewithcarolin
      @bikewithcarolin 8 дней назад

      The diet was well rounded and diverse. Its very common to have a variety of preserved veggies and soups. usually, traditional accommodations generally have set menus. I actually appreciate that the food was already selected for me (zero decision fatigue) I'm doing much better! fitness is great, scar is minimizing and fading well. Hope you get a chance to go out to Japan!
