WHO? Half-Fast Mike. Anyone else who wants to come along and promises to not complain that the aforementioned rider is too fast/slow/quiet/smelly/fat etc.
WHEN? Friday 19th July. I'm planning to take the first train from home, which gets me into JR Ome at 05.56. OMG did I just say that? Basically I want to get out before the commuters start clogging up the trains.
WHAT? 100 km out and back, with probably 3,500 m climbing. Route Map
WHY? Because Sibreen said so.
Of course if the weather gets silly there is always an option to cut the route in half and terminate in Chichibu. And if more food/drinks are needed I may extend the turnaround by 5 km to reach the main road and civilization.
Stalk my Strava to see whether my flight times are compatible with yours. PM if interested.
FAQ
Can we start earlier?
No. Well, you can if you want to.
Can we start later?
Possibly. Make me an offer?
How long will it take?
Maybe ten hours. I would be delighted with eight.
