Sorry if it sounds like I'm being too "gung-ho" with the hill-climbing thing, but...
...I AM!
I'm really looking forward to doing well in this years "Tour de Kusatsu", and I want to get in as much training in as I can!
HOWEVER, I'm looking at this ride as being a recovery/rest day, so nobody needs to go fast - I'm just looking for a "nice relaxing day, riding up the hills with some friends"! No competition, or fast-stuff; and then a nice meal afterwards with everyone.
So... Saturday, 17th or Sunday, 18th; Let's do Okutama again!
As a big group this time! Last time, there were only 7 riders, so this time let's try to get more.
After the climb & descent, instead of riding all the way to Kami-Shakujii, if we all ride to Hachioji, there's a shop that serves "all-you-can-eat" Shabu-shabu or Sukiyaki, and "all-you-can-drink" beer for 90 minutes for only \3,000.
When we're all "full" of this or that, we can just jump on the train back home!
It really is a great day out for anyone who likes riding a bicycle, and I hope as many of you as possible can join!
Again, the climb is really not that difficult if you just go at your own pace, and you really will have a sense of achievement after it's done! Remember, once you're at the top, it's "all down hill from there!"
Rubber down! Travis
