Day 3 before breakfast

Today was tough, again. 62 miles. Not as much climbing but we were already tired from all the climbing on day one and two. Tonight is a "hotel night". Great place. It has it's own onsen in the hotel. We are in Niigata on the sea of Japan. Farming area. We rode for hours through rice paddies. Believe it or not today was a recovery day. Tomorrow we ride 92 miles along the coast.
