EDIT: CANCELED
Wanted to plan for this weekend, but the weather doesn't look like it's going to cooperate.
I know that Tomin no Mori/Kazahari and Okutama are pretty popular, but I thought we might switch it up. This is a pretty hilly route that will take us through the Hanno Region.
Although this ride has more elevation than Tomin no Mori, it's broken up pretty nicely. I'm definitely not a climber, so I'll be advocating Party Pacing and WATT (wait at the top).
Some sections of mountain roads still have not had debris cleared from the typhoons from last summer. Bring a spare tube or two, but you can leave your hiking boots at home.
For those of you coming out from Tokyo, there are a few options. Ride along the Tama River Trail and a couple friends and I will meet you at the start/end point on the route below by 8:30. A little more than a kilometer from there is Haijima Station (拝島駅). Another option is Higashi-Agano Station (東吾野駅) at around the 20 mile/30 km mark. Between traffic and climbs, we should be there by 10:00. If you're planning on using Higashi-Agano to get back, you can break off at the 38 mile/60 km mark and cut across back to the station.
Start: 8:30AM near Haijima Station along the Tama River Trail here
End: 1:00~2:00PM depending on pace/stops at the same point
Pace: Party Pace, WATT, all aboard
