How long is too long for a single-day, solitary ride? Zeb’s personal cycling goal this year was to pedal 500km (300 miles) in one ride, cycling Japan from one coast to the other in a single day.
In this video, he attempts to go one pedal stroke at a time from our home on the Sea of Japan, across to the Pacific Ocean. After starting in Ishikawa Prefecture, he rides through Fukui and Shiga Prefectures, along a section of the historic Tokaido Road (東海道線) and along Mie Prefecture into the Kii Peninsula (紀伊半島). He would be self-supported during the ride, but I was driving down to meet him at the finish line, at the southernmost point of Honshu, in Wakayama Prefecture (和歌山県).
