Tour de Nagano #2
So I plan to hit Nagano again next week with what I hope will be better legs. The pace will be moderate - fast especially on the desents I haven't mapped out everything yet but plan to do a 3 day tour, including Norikura again. On rides in the mountains we've often talked about a TCC summer training camp, so let me know if you're interested.
Day 1 - Friday 27th August
Shiojiri - Norikura - Matsumoto (170km)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/japan/-nagano/658128245740323313
I plan to take the earliest train out and be ready to roll by 9.45am.
Day 2 - Saturday 28th August
Matsumoto - Ustukushigahara Skyline and around - Jizo Touge - Kusatsu Onsen (approx 150km - 180km)
Day 3 - Sunday 29th August
Kusatsu - Nozawa Onsen and beyond...not 100% decided (150km plus) return via Shinkansen approx 12000 yen.
If you're interested and can only join from Saturday that's fine, you can meet me at Matsumoto and ride from there. I'd like an early start though so you'd need to arrive the night before. I'm gonna stay in a business hotel. I can put up the link if anyone is keen. On Saturday night I'll book a room at the same Japanese inn TCC stayed for the Kusatsu Hill Climb. Tatami, onsen, food etc for around 10,000yen I think.
This involves lots of climbing so you need to be very fit for this ride. Anyway let me know if you're interested
