Continuing our up the Arakawa and arcing southward series... this route builds upon our last couple of rides and adds both distance and elevation. That being said, there are a lot of bailout points along the way.
We'll head up the Arakawa to the Irumagawa were we will head the length of the Irumagawa bicycle path out towards Oume. From Oume we'll continue south past Musashi-Itsukaichi and out to the Kobu Tunnels. Descending from there we'll pass by Fujino & Uenohara, past Sagami-ko on our way to Miyagase-ko. From the lake we'll ascend the northside of Yabitsu Toge and then descend to Hadano for the train back to Tokyo.
As mentioned earlier there are numerous bailout points: Oume, Musashi-Itsukaichi, Fujino. Additionally, depending on the weather and road as well as how the group is feeling, we can make some route alterations to skip Yabitsu and head to Hon-Atsugi if need be.
INFO:
Meet Time: 8:00am
Route: (ROUTE)
Meet Place: Family Mart (HERE)
Distance: 162.5km
Climbing: 1800-2300m
We'll make conbini stops as needed, the first one coming at the 48km mark. Hope to see you there!
