『納涼白糸ライド』第146回定期走行会レポ／"Shiraito ride for cool" The 146th ride meeting report

 9月というのに暑い日が続いてますね。今回は涼しさを求めて白糸の滝まで登りました。

Even though it's September, the hot days continue. This time, we went up to Shiraito Falls to cool down.

今回の参加者は15名。タケPさんはお見送りです。唐津から坂本さんが初参加でした。

There were 15 participants this time. Take P saw us off. Sakamoto-san from Karatsu participated for the first time.

車の少ない道を選びながら長糸のファミマへ。朝でもけっこう暑いです。

we headed to the Family Mart in Nagaito, choosing a road with less traffic. It was pretty hot even in the morning.

ひと息入れた後に白糸の滝までヒルクライムチャレンジ。キツかったけど山の上は下界とは別世界の涼しさ。いつまでも居たいくらいでした。

After taking a break, We tried the hill climb to Shiraito Falls. It was tough, but the coolness of the mountain was a world apart from the world below. We wanted to stay there forever.

しんどい登りはパスしたい途中組は、白糸の森まで登ってUターン。旧道やスムージーを楽しんだそうです。

The group that didn't want to steep climb did climbed up to Shiraito Forest then made a U-turn. And they enjoyed the old road and smoothies.

白糸からは林道を通って雷神社へ。アップダウンの続く静かな林道は日陰が多く、山のひんやりした空気の中を涼しくライドできました。

From Shiraito, we headed to Ikazuchi Shrine via a forest road. The quiet forest road had many ups and downs, and there was plenty of shade, making for a cool ride in the crisp mountain air.

帰路も田舎道を選びながらのんびりと。稲穂が色づきはじめましたね。田んぼの向こうに可也山が迎えてくれます。糸島は本当にいいところです。

On the way back, We took a leisurely ride along the country roads. The rice ears were starting to change color. Mt. Kaya greeted us from beyond the rice fields. Itoshima is truly a wonderful place.

今回も楽しいライドでした。いいコースだったのでまた行きたいと思います。次回は10月4日の開催日はちょうど糸島市民まつりですね。またグルメフェスティバルを楽しみましょう。皆さんの参加をお待ちしています。

It was also fun ride as usual. The course was great, so we'd like to go again. The next ride will be held on October 4th, which coincides with the Itoshima Citizens' Festival. Let's enjoy the Gourmet Festival again. We look forward to your participation.
