Arakawa

Today was a very beautiful, sunshiny day!  I couldn't resist going out for a bicycle ride.  My approach is to hop on the bicycle and just go until I get to a point where I want to return.  Today I ended up going to the Arkawa.  

The total ride was 52 km.  It was primarily along Kurome-gawa, which can be for nice riding, although there were spots where many families were sitting and picnicking, which also means there were a lot of people walking along the paths.  Once I was about 25 km down the river, I decided to turn around and make my way back.  I also decided to take a couple of pictures on my way back. 

 There was a golf course along the river.  I don't see many golf courses, but a lot of driving ranges.  

Clubhouse?

The greens and fairways looked rather dry.

 This is where I left the Arakawa.

Sometimes the path was rather narrow.

I was on the bicycle for about three hours.  I really enjoyed my bicycle ride, and was able to marvel at God's creation.
