Hi all,
My first post on BBS outside the 'Introduction' thread and I need some help. I am a month old road cyclist and I am planning (read thinking) to do Tokyo-Kyoto this December. I searched the forum but couldn't find a very relevant thread so bothered you all with this.. I have few questions:
I have more questions but for the time being these are what are the most important!
Also, if there is someone from the TCC willing to take this trip with a rookie then that'll be welcome..

My first post on BBS outside the 'Introduction' thread and I need some help. I am a month old road cyclist and I am planning (read thinking) to do Tokyo-Kyoto this December. I searched the forum but couldn't find a very relevant thread so bothered you all with this.. I have few questions:
- My biggest concern, is December end (time we have winter vacation in college) a suicidal time to do touring? Should I expect snow/heavy rain? (This will be my first winter in Japan so no idea about it)
- I expect many people here to have done this tour before so what should be the best route? I've read that the straight route 1 is not at all enjoyable.
- I am planning to do this in 5-6 days and return by train so what are good options to stay in the nights... any suggestions? I am a student so I am on a shoe string budget!
- Though I expect some of friends to accompany me in this trip but in case no one agrees, is it advisable to do it alone? In winter? With not enough Japanese language ability apart from asking directions?
I have more questions but for the time being these are what are the most important!
Also, if there is someone from the TCC willing to take this trip with a rookie then that'll be welcome..
