Will be hitting Tsukuba on Thursday with @Musashi13 by car.
This is the route we'll be riding...
Owing to the heat, I designed the route to hit convenience stores regularly.The climbs are mostly subtle, 6 to 8% (apart from one [around 11% straight up], and 30% of another). There are many steeper climbs in the area, but I thought it best to consider the heat factor.
I know the area well, apart from one flat section, but will have the route in my Garmin so it shouldn't be problem.
We'll be leaving from this Coco conbini (best bread ever, and highly recommended for brekky).

Have checked with them, and they're all cool with you parking there, as long as it's in the gravel truck stop area, not straight out the front of the shop.
Of course, it'd be nice if you could give them some patronage while you're there, as well.
Have always parked there and they know my face.
Alternatively, if you're coming by train, I guess Tsuchiura is the closest station. However, I've never gone there by train, so I suggest you scope it out just in case there's a closer station.
Aiming to roll out at around 7:45 a.m.
Will be the usual WATT rule, and I can't see anyone getting dropped on the flat because there's not a lot of it.
Join us, if you can.
