路線
在218公里處，大多數人會在兩三天內完成這項工作，但我們的騎手有其他想法。在炎熱的夏季氣溫中，安迪付出了巨大的努力，在一天內完成了工作。

安迪·佩恩
Andy was in Kyoto for a short time during his trip and wanted to get out on the bike to tackle the Lake Biwa route. He had climbed Mt Fuji only a few days before but that didn’t seem to slow him down.

離開城市
The route starts at the Kamo river which flows from north to south through Kyoto. It doesn’t matter where in Kyoto you start from, simply head to the Kamo river then start cycling north.
在Demachiyanagi河分流處走右邊的小路，然後上Mikage dori，它將在您的右邊有4個街區。
御影通到比睿山
從京都東側到琵琶湖有幾種方式，但轉入#1號公路和#30號公路的三條通是兩條更受歡迎的通道。
30號公路沿途攀登京都第二高的山峰比睿山，海拔高度和湖景都很好。
國道30號線也是一條出城的快速車道，山腳下距離三條站僅6公里，這意味著您很快就要告別京都的城鎮和郊區了。
After winding through the mountain along the Shigagoe-michi (#30) for 5km or so, you’ll start getting a glimpse of the lake as you descend into Yanagasaki, which is the town on the lake.
琵琶湖環線（琵琶市）
From Yanagasaki you’ve got around 185km to get around and back to the intersection where the #161 meets the #30 which will take you back through the mountains to Kyoto.
一天、兩天或三天
Generally riders do the Lake Biwa loop over one, two or three days. If you are new to cycling or still building up your fitness we recommend doing it over two or three days.
要記住的一件事是，日落後湖的某些區域會變得非常黑暗，如果沒有適當的燈光和裝備，騎自行車會有點危險。
計劃您的旅程，以確保您當天到達目的地時有一點空閒時間，享受來之不易的飲料，餐點，最好是在溫泉中浸泡。
牧野
如果你住一晚，西北部的牧野是一個美麗的小鎮，有很棒的游泳、水上活動和通往北部山丘的通道。
北部的山脈令人印象深刻，可以向北眺望日本海，也可以向南眺望湖泊，欣賞到美妙的風景。
The landscape is pretty rugged and it really does feel like you’re a world away from the commotion of Kyoto and Otsu.
方向
關於哪個方向最好存在一些爭論，但大多數人可能會逆時針繞圈，將湖面保持在左側。但是，這樣做時可能會有很強的逆風，所以有些人更喜歡從順時針方向進行騎行。
As you make your way around the Lake, you’ll have the option of riding the Fast path or the Slower path. The fastest paths mean cycling on the main roads, and the lakeside paths are a bit slower and more enjoyable.
海拔
環湖騎行大多是平坦的，除了北部的山脈突然飛奔而起，提供一些絕佳的視野和騎行。
The climbing on this route is at the start and the end when going through the Mt Hiei range. The incline gets up to 13-14% and after riding 200km, we’re pretty impressed Andy got up and over the mountain again on his return to Kyoto.
景點
沿途有很多值得一看的地方，包括城堡、湖畔小鎮、崎嶇的山路、神社、寺廟等等。關於景點的更多細節，請從下面的連結中查看志賀琵琶湖旅遊景點。
最後的思考
琵琶湖是騎自行車探索的好地方。雖然靠近京都、大阪和奈良，但北部有一些偏遠地區，讓您感覺自己置身於世外桃源。
In warm weather the lake is great for swimming giving ample opportunities to have a break from pedaling to cool off in the fresh water.
有些地區交通繁忙，比如大津，這是一個非常工業化的地區，但這只佔騎行的一小部分。請記住，它確實會變得更好。
This route definitely deserves some consideration when planning your cycling routes through Kansai.
祝您騎行愉快！
