Went to Otsuki and did the 4.5 loop again (alone), the smaller tunnel leading to the first climb is still closed
As usual, I went over the gate, lots of debris, small rocks and tree branches, ok for climbing but not for downhill.
There's new, more sturdy gate further that requires jumping over.
And the gate at the exit moved as well.
There's a construction going on - reinforcing the sidewalls - preventing landslide so if you ever took the route on a workday the segment is likely to have complaining workers on-site.
Other than this expected closed road everything is the same, and no, the ride did not get easier the third time - especially with all the heat.

Salt is good for cyclists right ? - now you can replenish salt from those dispensers
