Bicycle Race

After Betsy heard about a 30 KM (that's about 18 miles) bicycle event going on at Torii Station (US Army base not far north of us), we decided to enter with our cheap-o mountain bike & another borrowed from a friend. Turns out it was a pretty serious race for pretty much everyone else that entered & participated, whereas our goal was to finish. ;-) We both finished (the last 2 of all 107 participants). And Betsy even medalled! She came in 2nd in her division (women 18-29 years of age). Here we are posing on Torii Beach with our borrowed bicycle after the pancake breakfast: And here are a few more shots of the quite nice Torii Beach that day. The weather was just gorgeous, but somehow it never occurred to us to bring along swim attire & towels to actually enjoy it. :-(

Okinawa - Beaches!
