MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th, 2006URAUSU to SAPPORO
72km 3h 23m
Well that's it that's all... I took a cruisy morning today, the last day of this great trip. I packed slowly, laying everything out. It was when I took my fly off, I saw him, Big Scary Spider was still with me! It had to be him, had I carried him for 80 from Mashike yesterday?? I shook him free. When I layed my gear out on a wooden plank, suddenly I saw an even sicker spider making a beeline for my sleeping bag. My insect understanding went out the window and I swung my sandal ending with a squishy crunchy sound, no more prisoners now boys.
Todays ride was actually my fastest speedwise, I kept a 21.3kph clip up even through the city. Entering Sapporo I was greeted with cars on the sidewalk, parking on the side of the road, and overgrown bike lanes. Not deterred, I rode on to Odori to meet some work buddies for some MacD's and a few tall cans. After begging my ex boss to let me go home rather than more tallies, I saw Yuki from Rishiri at Shugakuso. Had a good chat then I rolled home, as my odometer hit exactly 1000kms. What a trip... time to rest up and prep for Nepal, Tibet, Thailand and Vietnam now though.

So you're admitting you're a Stats Geek. How funny. Stats for road hockey. What an awesome account of your trip. Thank you Corey.
It's almost as good as being there.
