Cycling in Sorachi

I love outdoor sports. Cycling is one of them.
“Spring has come” means for me that I should do the outdoor sports.

I decided to go cycling on Saturday, May 21,2016.
Because according to the weather forecast, it would be a nice day on Sunday.
It really was a very nice day. No clouds at all.
So I had to put the sunblock cream on my face, neck, hands and legs before starting.
This is my bicycle. This type is called ”Randonneur” in Japan. It originally comes from French.
It may be called “touring bike” in English, I am not sure.

Anyway, would you please look at the English site below.

Why don’t you have a nice cycling in Sorachi !!

What a sudden change !

Spring has just come.
Because I can see the cherry blossoms.
Of course, that’s my opinion.

There are good cherry-blossoms avenue near my house.
I took some pictures on Tuesday, May 2nd.
There were not in full bloom, it looks like 10%.

I made a trip to Manila in Philippines from May 3rd to May 5th that is
a three-days national holiday.

4 days have passed since I took them.
And there were pictures on Friday, May 6th.
The cherry trees were in full blossom.

What a sudden change !!

.

I was very impressed .
There were great differences between cherry-blossoms on May 2nd and May 6th.

The cherry-blossoms makes me feel good.
We can feel temperature and coldness of wind,
but We can’t see all of them.

How about blossoms? Of course, we can.
Seeing is believing.
So I said again that spring has just come in Sapporo.
