I have been attracting by Setouchi Shimanami Kaito bike touring for a long time through Taiwanese cycling enthusiasts. At age 75, my wife thinks I am crazy. I booked two nights at Suminoe for 6/17 and 18. The spacious room with ocean view and bidet toilet are very impressive. Miss Wang who is in charge, is very intelligent. She suggested and drove me to the Ikuchijima bike shop to rent a nice one. I started around 9 AM in light rain and stayed cool. No trouble going across Tatara Bridge, but when I tried to get on the Omishima Bridge, on the right hand side, there was marking for toilet, so I go straight instead and came to the same spot for the second time. I was worrying I would not have enough time to return the bike at Imabari by 5 PM. At 12 noon, exactly what the weather forecast said, the rain stopped and I took off my rain coat, making good time to reach Imabari around 3:30 PM. The beautiful girl at Giant Bike shop took nice pictures for me and showed me where to return the bike by the JR station. I had a nice meal at the station, then walked across to the bus station to catch Setouchi Bus at 5 PM to Setouchita BS around 5:41 PM. Mrs. Wang's husband was so nice waiting there to pick me up. The next day on 6/19, I had a very delicious breakfast at Suminoe at 8:30 and walked to the bike shop where I rented the bike with a basket in front to haul my back pack. The manager, Wa Ka Mi Ya was so glad to see me and took some pictures for me. Asked her to greet Miss Tanaka.
