Day 52, July 20, Monday (a three-day weekend)
I had thought I would buy some cosmetics for my wife as long as I ride bicycle along the national route 6 and then transferred to Prefecture route 24. However, I was lost, I got down route 6 at Mushikake (虫掛), taking to the bicycle route, which I had not thought I got on this path. I guessed I can get Tsukuba along the path. In fact, this path is constructed on the outskirts of Tsukuba, starting from Tsuchiura eki to Iwase town with 40.1 km. I was riding and riding, until I got Hokujo (北条). Then I change my direction to Tsukuba city.
Little town of Hokujo (北条)
It's about 13:00, I looked University of Tsukuba.
I bought a map of Tsukuba which was published in 2003. It helped me indeed.
I bought the cosmetics at Seibu Department, and had Japanese noodle as my lunch. Then I came back.
