Hi, Guys!
Now that it’s spring, it’s finally warm enough to go cycling! Thanks to that, I went recently on my first long ride in a long time!
This time, I decided to ride until Omi-Ohashi bridge and, once there, had to choose between going to Kusatsu or Seta.
The winner this time? Seta!
But before I went, Lake Biwa was looking really gorgeous, so I had to take a picture!
皆さん、こんにちは！
春が始まり、サイクリングにピッタリな暖かい天気になってきたので久しぶりに長く乗れました！
最初はとりあえず近江大橋まで行って、そこから草津か瀬田のどっちかにしようと思っていましたが、今回は瀬田にしました！
でもその前はやっぱり、「琵琶湖は今日もきれいだね」と橋の上からのワンショット！
In the Seta River area, there are some places with no one around, so you can relax while drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying what mother nature has to offer.
Once again, it was a very delightful and relaxing experience!
瀬田川の川辺は場所によって人がいなくて、コーヒーを飲みながら自然を眺めることができる、おすすめのスポットです。
今回ものんびり、のんびり過ごしました！
After that, I started to ride slowly again around the riverbank until something really caught my attention.
I stopped my bicycle and had a big surprise!
その後は再び自転車に乗り、瀬田川沿いをゆっくり回り始めました。そうすると、「まさか」と思わせるものを見かけましたので、そこで一旦自転車を止めて、近くで確認してみたところ．．．
It was a wild turtle!
野生の亀を発見しました！
It was so pretty that I stood there for a while, just staring at that little turtle.
For the first time I was seeing a wild one, so that encounter made me really happy!
After that, I decided to look carefully around the riverbank to see if I could find something else.
The result?
可愛すぎてしばらくそこで立って眺めていました。
野生の亀を見たのは今回が初めてなのでそれがすごくうれしくて、川沿いをじっくり見たら他に何か見えるのではと思って観察することにしました！
その結果？
Turtle festival!
まさかの亀祭りも目撃！
It made me really happy to be able to capture that moment in a picture, so it only occurred to me later that maybe they were from an invasive species of turtle. However, I’m not a specialist or anything and I can’t tell for sure, so I just decided to be grateful for that encounter with nature.
This is it for this time’s cycling report!
Thank you for reading!
この子達を写真に撮れたのはとても嬉しいですけど、「これはもしかして外来種ではないか．．．」と今更気付きました。専門家でも何でもないのでさっぱりわかりませんけど、とりあえず生き物との出会いを喜ぶことにしました！
以上が今回のサイクリングレポートでした！
