For a feasibility study of The Map Trip Society, I went to Koga in Ibaraki.
This map is on a scale one to 20000 surveyed in 1885.
In this neighborhood, the topography changed after the river was repaired at the end of the Meiji period.
Koga was a castle town, but the castle was in low land and assumed Watarase River a moat.
The site of castle became a dyke and is a riverbed now, and there is on trace of it.
I walked Ibaraki,Saitama,Gunma and Tochigi today.
It is the spot of the prefectual border here, and I can trace into 4 prefectures by walking only 6 km.

My road bicycle, Katakura Silk,was is very old. I don't ride at all. I wanted to know bicycles, so I went to a cycle-shop, TOKU, for the test ride. 
Because the size fits it me , it is TREK madone Pro 6.9 to have chosen.
This is very expensive.
An impression after the test ride：This is "another vehicle".
I can certainly run at high speed.
I feel the slope of 5% to 2-3%. The ride is comfortable, and the handling is easy.
I thought that even though my worldly desires were gone, I couldn't help but fall in love with this bike.

 Jun,2009.I went to Ayutthaya by Ntional Railway from Bangkok and went around the temples of the world heritage site. |
 The rent-a-bicycle which I hired was a single speed and two seater. There were ruins which we could ride up by bicycle. |
 The instructions for the pagoda were only Japanese. |
