Good to see you, my friend. How you doing?

and I figured if there's one thing I've got to do

in terms of preparation for the next 2 months of which I'm going to be cycling,

Tomorrow, Natsuki's actually joining part of the cycle.

I think that's what we should have named the cycle: "Let's Bicycle" instead of "Journey Across Japan"

That's Natsuki's rendition of John Denver.

Brilliant! Encouraging words from a good friend.

"I can't do it", "I'll fail" and "I'll give up in 3 days".

Good. I feel like a new man. I love a good haircut.

We're gonna go and get some dinner now, and have a kind of celebratory

pre-trip dinner to get in the spirit of things and yeah

This is my hotel room. It's a Japanese business hotel,

I quite like it. It's quite a nice nostalgic smell to it.

I thought I'd have a quick chat because I don't--

I feel like I've just thrown you in the deep end here and you don't know what's going on.

Basically, yeah, tomorrow. The cycle is tomorrow, it starts tomorrow.

And the reason I haven't really told anyone about it, or I haven't promoted it that much is because

until now, until like today, I didn't even feel like it was gonna happen.

You know sometimes when you go on a holiday

And you just- it doesn't feel like you're going on holiday until you're right on the plane,

sitting on the plane, going off the runway, taking off.

I'm kind of on the plane, I'm just about to take off. That's the stage I'm at.

I must admit, though I did laugh at it when he brought them out

It actually makes a lot of sense. It's probably the best possible gift

somebody could have given me before going on a 2,000 kilometers cycle:

a towel to wipe away the gallons of sweat that are going to be pouring out my face.

Anyway, it's ten past eight now, which means it's time for a much-needed dinner. Let's go.

Okay, Natsuki, I want 3 tips for success.

3 tips so I can finish the cycle and actually make it to Kagoshima.
