めざすは西へ30キロちょっとの二宮町吾妻山公園。途中、辻堂海浜公園に立ち寄って、西友で食糧を補給。ここまで34分のラップ。この公園は何しろ広い。プールなどもある遊園地的な広場なので、夏には子供連れで楽しめそう。富士山も大きくみえる。
R134は期末恒例の道路工事で車線が一本の区間もあり、西湘バイパスに向かう車の長い渋滞になっていたが、大磯のR1に出るとガラガラで気持ち良く走れた。
吾妻山公園は地図で見ると北側の道からなら上まで行けそうに見えたのだが、途中で車両進入禁止となっていた。一応ここをゴールとして所要時間1時間37分。道路の様子から判断すると、関係者車両はブロックを移動してそのまま進むようだ。駐車設備もないので、僕は自転車を引いて坂道を登った。
公園からの見晴らしは素晴らしい。なだらかな芝生の広っぱから眼下に相模湾がパノラマで一望できる。右手には小田原の町が見える。そして振り返ると富士山だ。4月になれば、富士を背景に絶好の花見スポット。気持ちの良い場所だ。
It’s almost spring day and it looked perfect for a long ride with my Onix bike. The rear derailleur was not perfect the other day, so I stretched the wire and retuned it.
The destination is Azumayama Park in Ninomiya, a little over 30km in the west. I stopped by at Tsujido Beach Park to buy some food at Seiyu supermarket. The lap here was 34 minutes. This park was enormous. Sort of playground for kids, particularly in the summer, with a large swimming pool and a water slider. Also, Mt. Fuji is in front of us.
March is always the season for road repair and construction, and R134 was narrowed in some section to cause a heavy traffic jam by the cars heading for Seisho Bypass. On the other hand, when I went down to Oiso, R1 was almost vacant and comfortable to run.
As for the approach to Mt. Azuma Park, I thought the route in the north side might allow the vehicles to reach its summit, but actually it was blocked on the way. It took 97 minutes from home to this goal. As there was no parking facility, I walked uphill carrying my bike.
The view from the park was gorgeous. Over the wide sloping lawn was the panoramic ocean view of Sagami Bay and on our right was the city of Odawara. Looking back was the beautiful Mt. Fuji, and in April soon, this will be an ideal spot for watching sakura blossoms with Mt. Fuji in the background. A comfortable park it is indeed.
