Ashigara Yama no Kintaro - December, 19
I am planning a ride in Ashigara next Sunday. This is a re-run of a ride I posted some years ago. Below is the original post, edited for new time and date.
Any takers? :bike:
****************************************************
How about some mountains in my backyard for a change?
Sunday 12/19 I am planning a ride from Shin-Matsuda to the Ashigara Mountains. Course is only about 75kms, but is pure climbing. Shin-Matsuda – Daiyuzan – Myojin Forest Road – Kintoki Tunnel (old Ashigara Pass) – Sengokuhara, - Minami-Ashigara Forest Road – Kuno Forest Road - Myojin Forest Road -Daiyuzan – Shin Matsuda.
Much of the climb is on gated forest roads with no cars. This is one of my favorite rides; short but hard, with two hellish and utterly gratuitous 3km dead-end climbs that can be thrown in for the hillbillies.
The route is not straightforward at all; there are about 20 junctions where it is possible to go the wrong way. I'd like to keep the ride (if anyone else wants to go) to riders of similar abilities who can ride as a unit and not have to constantly stop to re-group.
Meet at Shin Matsuda Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line (5 minutes walk from Matsuda Station on the JR Gotemba Line) at 10:04. Roll by 10:20 or so.
Any takers? I have posted the profile here:
