At the end of July I'll be at my wife's parent's place in Nagano-ken between Tatsuno and Shiojiri for four days. While I am there I plan to hit Norikura and hopefully the Venus Skyline for two different full day rides. Additionally, we'll be staying in Nagano-shi for at least a night, and I'm considering riding from there back to home in Tokyo. Regarding the potential ride back to Tokyo, I could depart from Nagano-shi, Matsumoto, or the Suwa area. It looks like the easiest and shortest way home would probably be from Nagano-shi.
With that information in mind I have some questions.
1) From any of the aforementioned starting points, what would be a good one day route from Nagano-ken back to Tokyo?
2) If I left from Nagano-shi, what do you think of this potential route?
3) I can probably get dropped off just about anywhere, what would be a good Norikura Skyline route/loop that would let me end up here?
4) Maybe this route for my third question?
These three rides (Norikura Skyline / Venus Skyline / Nagano to Tokyo) will probably be too much for me to do within the time frame I have available on this trip, but I'll almost certainly do two out of three. And, at some point I will definitely do them all, so your feedback and advice is appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help!
