I woke up around 4 o'clock in the next morning with everyday habits, get out of the tent and go to the beach.
I could see the rising sun rising from the horizon with a slightly hazy side.
After walking around a little and visiting the Yumesu shrine next to the campground, we have already prepared for breakfast at Cyclo - Tourism - Shimanami staff.

By the way this tour. The wife of the staff is also taking part with the baby.
About half a year old baby Aiko is participating in a tandem cart behind the Mama cyclist.
As a bicycle beginner I am impressed with "Gee... I've never seen such a vart as ever".
Good Moo 愛晄(AKO)ちゃん
Such a cart
Ikuchijima-Island is the birthplace of domestic lemon, and Setoda is home to Kazuzi Temple and Japanese painter Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art from local people, etc. Setoda is a lively city in Shimanami-Kaido.
Citrus cultivation is thriving, there are shops of gelato and sweets using local citrus fruits, which is a popular spot for women's cyclists.
With Gelato tension MAX women's cyclist
In the vicinity of this popular handmade dessert "Dolce" there is a sweet shop that used plenty of island islands of "Ikuchijima-Island" called "Island island".
This "island island" is one of the "cycle oasis", but what a delicious store for the cyclist, "just a break even OK. Coffee is a free service".
There is a bench like a real lemon, there is a lemon wear, I think that it is a recommended spot for a family cyclist.

Coffee is free
After Setoda's "Island Dogs", run through the streets of Setoda, run along a flat outer road with palm trees lining along the coast street, the cyclical sanctuary, "Osis Tosura Shinami" at Ohmishima Island next door I will run.
For beginners of Shimanami-Kaido's cycling, it is recommended to run around this Ikuchijima-Island's outer road. Because it is almost flat coastline, I can run reasonably, coastline where palms line up is a little resort feeling.

Cyclo - Tourism - Shimanami specialty, for a cyclist After filling your stomach with a characteristic lunch "Charian dialect", cross the Oshima "Miyakubo Pass", the greatest vital point of this tour, heading to the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge.
The Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge is the bridge that can enjoy the longest and highest landscape among the seven bridges of Shimanami-Kaido.
When coming across the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, the goal of Imabari "Cyclo-No-Ie" is almost there.

Pass past Miyakubo Stone Cultural Park and pass
Pass is at the each person's speed.
After going down Miyakubo Pass, the route selected by the staff of Cyclo - Tourism - Shimanami is a route which is not so major, "Yoshimi Rose Park - Coast route - Kurushima Kai Bridge".
Recommended for this route, family.
Generally running runs pass Miyakubo Pass and continue on Route 317 as it is, which is not as close to Miyakubo Pass, but a fairly severe slope.
This route is honest "It is a bit difficult for beginners and families" and I can not recommend it.
I often see the family who actually pushes down the bike.
However, if it is the route selected by Cyclo - Tourism - Shimanami this time, it is recommended course for the family because it can go over the Miyakubo Pass and then run on the flat shoreline to the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge.
Recommended for families Coastline route
There is view point of Kurushima Strait.
To the moving goal
