I took on the AJ Nishitokyo 200km Brevet.
This was my fourth attempt at a 200km Brevet.
I'd completed the previous three, so I thought I'd be fine this time too, but...

It was raining ☔️. The temperature was low, and the conditions were not ideal.

I got a cramp at Yamabushi Pass, about 60km from the start!
I took a 10-minute break and started again, but the pain persisted, so I continued riding, ignoring it.

I was crushed at Ashigara Pass, 110km from the start.

I got another cramp, so I had to walk part of the way up.

We had a BBQ at a campsite near a manned checkpoint.
We ate yakitori and frankfurters and declared DNF.

I experienced the rigors of a rainy brevet.
Those who managed to finish in such adverse conditions are amazing.

I rode back from the campsite to the parking lot,
a total distance of 172km.
