I climb up the hill from the coastline road and join the National Highway No. 2.
However, it is steep slope.
0839
dog.
A dog is playing on this steep slope.
In this situation, I will be in trouble if the dog barks at me.
Fortunately, the dog ignored me and went away.
Even so, it is heavy.The pedal is heavy.
I went down from the bicycle and kicked the wheel and turned it.
It does not seem as if the brake is touching.
0845
There is a feeling of strangeness in the tires.
0846
It was not punctured, the valve parts was crooked.
It was bad that I kicked the wheel and idly rotated it.
It seems that I kicked the valve mouth and it bent.

I changed the tube and departed.
0915
Even if I know that the cause is a valve part ....
Politely, slowly, I will leave after confirming whether I really have not stuck anything on the tire.

萬里隧道tunnel. Wanli Tunnel
I was worried whether I could pass here by bike at the planning stage, but I seem to be able to pass.
0943
I run in a peaceful scenery.

My bicycle punctured again.
What is it?
The touring people who passed by helped me to be kind.
People in Taiwan are kind.

My spare tube was old, so he offered a new tube free of charge.
1015
And the people of Taiwan ran it disappeared like the wind.
Thank you.Thank you.I kept waving my hands forever.

The cause of the puncture seems to be that the tube was twisted a little when replacing the tube and it got worn out and punctured.

Start of the motorcycle race.
Motorcycles have been traveling in a row.
It is an amazing sight. I will go slowly through the part of the crosswalk here.
I need attention because the motorcycle will bend with increasing speed.

There are always two Saturdays on a 14 day trip.
That Saturday is today.I have not made reservations for today's inn.
I decided to go to "Akari".
I asked if there was room available.
It was the answer "yes".
I heard that there is a single room.
There was an answer "available".
1615
I have made a route by Chizu-Loyd to the front door of the hotel.
I have never hesitated before, but it was different only here.
Even though I confirmed it in street view, I searched around by going around a block.

And, I finally went round Taiwan and came back to Taipei.
I received the kindness of various people.I could travel as if I were in Japan.
I will run a cycling road in Taipei tomorrow.
