I wanted to do Tim's Tomin No Mori ride last weekend but wasn't able to make it out so I'm going to try a shorter version of that ride this coming Saturday morning.
>>Route Here<<
I plan to start from Musashi-Itsukaichi station at around 9:00 and loop around Okutama-ko and back to the station to finish. Except for the climbing section where I'll be going SLOW, I'd like to keep the pace fairly brisk but not fast. I expect that the duration of the ride will be somewhere between 3:30 or 4 hours.
In general I'd prefer whoever joins be willing to ride as a group except for the main climb which will be WATT. As I'll be heading out early I don't plan on stopping for a meal at the rest area so plan on having lunch after the ride is over.
There's only one large climb on the route and over half the distance is the descent, so this should be pretty easy, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're already comfortable with rides in the 60km+ range.
Bring whatever tools you need to repair a flat in addition to a helmet.
