Cycling teams from several countries gathered in Shingu for the 10th annual Tour 'd Kumano cycling competition. There were three courses for a total distance of 351 kilometers: In Mie Prefecture along the Kumano Kodo in Kumano City, in Shingu along the Kumano River and Kogumotori-goe areas, and towards Taiji along the coast. Cyclers gathered from several countries, making it an international competition. This was reported in the local news paper, Kiiminpo on May 10th.Over the last two or three years, it has become more common to see cyclers, marathon runners, hikers and other sports-minded people along the Kumano Kodo routes. I wonder if the fresh, clean air and sacred lands of the ancient people don't give each person some special energy.
Many times when I have been hiking, I have wished for more energy and have always been answered by the gods. I usually "write" a Chinese character for energy on my palm as I am walking and then "pop it in my mouth" as if to rejuvenate myself . It usually works well.
