Here's what happens when too many "good ideas" come together.....Naomi's plan for a weekend training for the Fuji International Hillclimb combined with too much staring at the Fuji area map by me.
Neither of us had ridden the Azami line so a good start was to go and have a look. But.....the Subaru line is not so far away (I think you can see where this is going) and so the plan dveloped into "Let's ride to two of the 5th Stations the same day!" And so we did!

Some pics from along the way:
Starting Point: Yamanakako
11.3 km of Pain awaits
Made it! But the cloud beat us to the top; it was Freezing!
One down; one to go: Wearing my Subaru jersey on the Subaru line
We're going up there
In case we forget where we are...
Second Fifth Station of the Day
As this was a weekend of training, that still left the second day. What better than to hit Azami a second time? Off we went from Yamanakako once again. Once again, I did a special jersey selection
And here is the officially approved road upon which to wear it:
Soon we were at the base of Azami again, and I can say for sure, I was feeling the effects of Saturday's monster ride! But once again, we ground our way to the top of the hill:
Which left us only one way to go....DOWN!
Thanks to Naomi-san for taking the great pictures!
