Dawn light spreads across flooded rice paddies as you clip into the pedals and roll toward the temple causeway. The air is warm and slightly sweet with river mud; temple towers rise like stone islands ahead. Riding here feels contrary—fast-moving exertion against structures that have hardly shifted in nine centuries.
