Go Zeb! Your editing skills are getting really good, Annie. I wasn’t familiar with this part of Japan and you made it come to life. Thanks!

Awesome video as always and congrats to Zeb!!! Summer break started here for me, so your videos have me pretty excited to go on my own little bike adventures everyday (though nowhere as scenic lol). Also can't wait to be in Japan myself in like less than a week, so excited!

Nice race Zeb, you chad

[@nemosaki]

beautiful place!!

[@kuri8015]

Great video as always! I was riding around there a few years ago, but it was in the middle of a typhoon, so I didn't really enjoy much of the scenery. The Showa museum looks great... I came to Japan at the end of the Showa period! Congratulations to Zeb. He should try the Mt. Fuji hill climb. I did it three or four years ago very slowly in the rain. :)

信州のサイクリングありがとう。諏訪湖から高遠、伊那路の旅。４月の高遠の桜を今度は何時か是非見て欲しいです。里山全体がホワイトピンクに染まりますよ。
