I would like to propose a new ride for next Saturday, August 22: Threepeaks (aka YAM Loop: Yabitsu-Ashigahara-Mikuni).
Meeting point/finish: Hashimoto Sta.
Rollout time: 9:00AM
Distance: ~160km
Ascent: ~2.700m
=> http://www.mapmyride.com/route/jp/hashimoto/932125047943795385
We'd start easy, climbing Yabitsu-toge from the north (see profile above), then continue on to Hadano and Ashigahara-toge. Ashigahara is not too long, but has two steep sections (up to 14% gradient). After a fast descent we'd proceed to R147 and the biggest challenge of the day, Mikuni-toge (only 7km of climb from the turn-off, but a few sections of up to 16% gradient). Once we'd hit Yamanaka-ko and replenish, it's R413 (Doshi-michi) all the way back into Hashimoto. I expect the pace to be relatively fast.
Who's interested in joining?
