Biking along the Yodogawa

Submitted by Curt on Tue, 2007-02-13 22:52.

Darren, Donny, Toffee and I made some use of our day off last Monday. We rode our bikes from Minami Settsu along the Yodogawa river to Osaka bay. It turned out to be a rather gruelling experience. The Yodogawa river has a cement path running along side it, which makes it perfect for biking or walking. Unfortunately, the cement path doesn't quite go all the way to the harbour and we had to double back a couple times. Monday was a gorgeous day and the temperature was almost perfect. It got a bit cold when the sun went down as you can see in the last picture. Check out some of these pictures:
