I have been indulged in running for the last over one year, riding a bike once in a while.Here is my summer ride plan. I welcome anyone who wants to join.
Date: August 20
Venue: Take Nagano shinkansen , Asama 501 from Tokyo at 6:24, arriving at Karuizawa at 7:32
Route: Karuizawa-Manza Kazawaguchi-Kusatsu-Shirane san-Shibu toge-Shiga kogen-Toyono st. see http://yj.pn/gCNTNE
Distance: 110Km
Aggregated elevation:2154m
Shibu toge is famous as the highest point of national road and should give you panorama view
Manza Kazawaguchi - Kusatsu - Shirane san is the familiar route for Tour de Kusatsu race.
I am not a hill climber but just a bicycle tourist. Then speed will be moderate.
If anyone is interested, I will meet you at Karuizawa st.
