Hello all!
Here is the mail I received from Mr. Kodama regarding this year's Hotaka races:
Hello !
We (The Committee of Hotaka Hill-Climb) have started to make a list of the next bicycle events.
We will hold two events; "12th Hotaka Hill-Climb" and "Giro de HOTAKA 2008 " The former held 8 Nov. is Japanese style Hill-Climb race and the route is not so long(8.5Km) but has a 22% upward slope. Many riders tried to pass through (ride up) this slope in last year's events but many were made to walk. Recently, as they (the walkers) have been studying gear ratio; but 50 to 60% of the riders made it up without walking.
The latter (Giro) held on 9 Nov. is a long distance (122Km) bicycle race,
the route has 3 climbs of 2080m in total altitude. In the last race the fastest player took 3 hours 58 minutes. We will take delight in expecting a new record.
You can apply in our site: www.ne.jp/asahi/bicycle/race/
We hope you to can take part in these races with your many bicycle friends and to enjoy it very much.
I am looking forward to the race.
Best regards
H Kodama
Chief director
The Committee of Hotaka Hill-Climb
Having gone in last year's race, I can definitely say that there will be quite a few who wish to make a challenge of this one for a second time:
AlanW, TOM, Mike, Aaron (Pucci), Thomas, m o b, ..... and as for myself, I think this might give me good reason to "jump back into the fray"!
I've taken it on myself to make this an "Official" ride, as I'm sure that within the next few months, the numbers will probably double over last year.
It really is a great weekend!
See you there!
