On Saturday I plan to do a run up Kazahari Rindo.
I'll be cycling out but can meet people at Haijima station (around 7am) Musashi Itsukaichi (7:30-8am ish). From there, breakfast at the 7 Eleven, before beginning the ride.
Basically I'll just go to the top of the rindo, then turn back. If there's time then could also do Nokogiri rindo as well, but that depends a bit. After that I'll get on the train back to town.
Kazahari rindo is a bit more difficult than the main road to Tomin (it goes to something like 20% in places and averages something like 14% over the top 7km), but is closed to traffic so you can weave with pleasure. The early part of the ride is very nice as you follow a little river by the side of the road - this bit is not so steep and is rather gradual.
Speed: "Back in the Saddle", "Slow" "Fun Ride with Climbing Pain" compatible.
