Advance notice of a classic ride next week. It is subject to cancellation if the weather turns out to be bad. Even in good conditions, it will be cold at the tops and during the descents, so dress up for the occasion. We will probably have lunch at the restaurant at Yanagisawa-toge, which is always cold as well.
We will most likely split up into an 'A-group' led by me and a 'B-group' led by @Chikako during or after the first climb, Matsuhime. There is a good bailout option after 3.5 climbs inEnzanKaiyamato, and the B-group may end up there due to time or fitness constraints. Climbs will be WATT (wait at the top) within reasonable limits. This is not an easy ride, but worth the effort.
INFO:
Meet Time: 8:00am
Meet Place: Otsuki Station
Climbing: 3500-4000m
Distance: 125-135km
Route: HERE
A convenient train is the Chuo Special Rapid via Takao that leaves Shinjuku station at 6.22am. We'll be getting on the front car of that train in Nakano.
