We departed Osaka (population 2 million) via a bus this morning to Kanazawa. This area is known for historic gardens, Samurai houses & Samurai castles that were built in the 16th and 17th century.
I ended the day with a first by riding on a pro velodrome track ...... what a blast!!

Welcome to the Kanazawa Japanese gardens.
After breakfast at 6:30am, our bikes and gear were loaded on these two SAG vehicles.
After our warmup ride, I took my Specialized Roubaix out on a pro velodrome track sloped between 12 degrees (min) and 42 degrees (max). I was maxed out for about five laps before calling it a day 👍
