Sagami River Trail Ride

We live in Sagamihara City, which is located in the south of Tokyo. This city is blessed with tons of industries and natural resources. One of the known place to go is the Sagami River. The Sagami River is one of the mother rivers that runs right through the middle of Kanagawa Prefecture. It's a blessing for us that we're just 7.5Kms. away from this wonderful river. It's a great place to experience outdoor activity in the heart of an industrialized city. Many people go to this river for fishing and camping, but we went there to explore its riverside trail and to enjoy our Creator's abundant creation.

Our usual meet up time is at 6A.M.
Since we're just next door neighbor, in case one of us got carried away dreaming in a long way, either one of us can just push the door bell's button (to eject the rider, hehehe ...).

Before we start pedaling, we always make sure that our bikes are properly adjusted to our riding preferences and well conditioned to absorb the beating. Actually, the riders are the ones being beaten up, and not the bikes. hehehe...

Now that our bikes are well conditioned, we made an emergency pit stop along our way. We had our usual McDonalds' breakfast set.



When we got there, we had a short warm up on a slightly steep track.


We just agreed to keep on pedaling until the end of the river side trail. Our purpose - to start from one endpoint of the trail and finish our trail ride for the day on the other end point.

We took a short rest once we reached our starting point and enjoy the scenery.


We needed to carry our bikes, for us to get closer to the river.


The classic pose, Joriz with XAM.


Some nice pictures in action... here we go ...

This one here, fail to survive ...


That's the Takada bridge and this is where our MTB's had fun. Since it's a river side, we expected that it would be as rocky as a rocky road ice cream.It was indeed a bouncy trail ride, but our bikes didn't disappoint us.


Xam got to cool down in the middle of our hottie trail riding, while J-mee is off the river keeping his heaten up momentum.



Note : There are no other girls that I love other than my wife and my daughter, because I chose to be faithful... That's why I chose to be with a boy and not with the other girl... and that's J-mee... ;-)


The stretch of Sagami river side trail.




The river was too deep, that it can only be crossed by carrying our bikes on our back and swim with it. We failed to cross the river... Not now baby ...


Anyway we got a nice bridge up there.




At last we reached the end of the rocky river side trail, and we pedaled and crossed short wooden bridges.


Finally, we reached the other end of the Sagami riverside trail. But we had a cardiac killing climb (about 400m) before we got there.




Until our next trail ride. Ride safe !!!
