So I need to pick the collective brains of TCC's community of resident experts. Eugen and I will be cycling in Nagano for four days, April 6th-9th, and will hopefully be hooking up either Saturday or Sunday for a ride with Chuck (ProRaceMechanic).
This will be the earliest in the year that I've ridden out there and would like to know about probable road conditions. Ideally, we'd like to do the following rides:
Eugen pointed out that according to this SITE, at least part of each of those rides won't be officially open yet. Can anyone "in the know" comment on what that means? I imagine there will be barriers up, will they be manned? Can you get around them? If you did go around them, would they likely be passable or impassable? I realize the last question, especially depends on the weather, but I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thank you in advance!
