INFO:
Meet Time: 8:10 am
Meet Place: Musashi-Itsuka-Ichi Station (武蔵五日市駅)
Alternative Meet Time: 6:30 am
Alternative Meet Place: Outside Shinjuku Station (exact place TBD)
Distance: 120 km
Climbing: about 2700 m, mainly split into three long, testing climbs.
Level: Will be aiming to get on the 4:01 pm train from Otuski to Shinjuku at the very latest (15:19 train is better), so the riding is likely to be pretty hard.
Stops will be short and reticent, apart from lunch at the soba shop after the descent from the second climb.
The soba shop might be closed though, in which case we will probably have to wing it, so rations will be bought or brought from Musashi-Itsuka-Ichi station.
Climbs will be WATT (wait at the top), and there is easy access to bail points after each of the large climbs for anyone who wants to take a different route home.
Also, this will be my first time up Nokogiri. Has anyone ridden it recently or can say what the road condition might be like? Thanks!
