『暑い日は水遊び！』第145回走行会リポート／"Hot day Play in the water!" The 145th Ride Meeting report

 今日の糸島の最高気温は35℃でした。こんなに暑い日は水遊びがサイコーです。
The highest temperature in Itoshima today was 35°C. On such a hot day, playing in the water is the best.

朝から暑いにもかかわらず24名もの参加がありました。初参加の方も2名（ひとりは18歳！）。今回も鉄フレーム多めで楽しいです。ハンドメイド仕上げは美しいですね。
Despite the heat from the morning, 24 people participated. Two of them were first-timers (one was 18 years old!). There were a lot of iron frames this time, so it was fun. The handmade finish is beautiful.

泉川のハマボウが見頃を迎えていました。ハマボウは糸島市の花でチームジャージの袖にもあしらわれています。アオイ科フヨウ属の塩性植物で塩分のある海沿いにしか咲かないそうです。この細い道は車がめったに通らず、のんびり景色や花を楽しめます。

The Hamabou flowers of Izumikawa River were in full bloom. Hamabou flowers are the flower of Itoshima City and are also featured on the sleeves of the team jerseys. They are a halophyte of the Malvaceae family and only bloom along salty seashores. There are rarely any cars on this narrow road, so you can leisurely enjoy the scenery and flowers.

二丈田中から深江に向かう気持ちの良い田んぼ道。田植えを終えた田ではもう稲が伸び始めていました。この道もサイクリングには最高です。

A pleasant rice paddy road from Nijo Tanaka to Fukae. The rice plants have already started to grow in the fields after planting. This road is also great for cycling.

あれ、橋本環奈ちゃん!?　ここはNHK朝ドラ「おむすび」で主人公が通学していた道なんです。

This is the road that the main character took to school in the NHK morning drama "Omusubi."

深江のセブンで冷たいものを飲んだ後は、鎮懐石八幡宮からの急な上り坂。汗が吹き出ますが、登り切ると海の景色が広がります。。

After having a cold drink at the 7-Eleven in Fukae, we started the steep climb from Chinkaiseki Hachimangu Shrine. I was dripping with sweat.

佐波の加茂川はちょうどよい冷たさ。みんな童心に帰って最高に楽しいひとときでした。

The Kamo River in Sanami was just the right temperature. We all had a great time, frolicking like kids again.

体を冷やした後は、福吉の「ぎゃらりふがく」まで走ってさらにアイスブレイク。今日はブルーベリーのスカッシュが人気でした。騒々しい我々をいつも歓迎してくださる嬉しいカフェです。

After cooling down, we ride to Gallery Fugaku to break the ice even more. Today, the blueberry squash was popular. It's a lovely cafe that always welcomes us, noisy as we are.

帰り道は国道202をそれぞれのペースでライド。パンクや腹痛など少しトラブルはありましたが、無事に加布里のセブンまで戻りました

On the way back, we all rode at our own pace on National Route 202. We had some troubles, such as a flat tire and stomach aches, but we made it safely back to the 7-Eleven in Kafuri.

今回はセブンで解散。みなさん暑い中お疲れ様でした。8月は暑すぎるのでライドは行いせんが、SUPの体験会を計画中です。どうぞお楽しみに！

This time we broke up at Seven. Thank you to everyone for your hard work in the heat. It's too hot in August so we won't be doing any rides, but we are planning a SUP experience. Look forward to it!
