Looks like I posted this in the Unofficial Tours and Short Runs section by mistake. Here it is again in the right place.
It's official! TCC will be racing at the Tour de Utsukushigahara hill climb race.
http://www.mspo.jp/jca08/index.html
The race starts in Asama Onsen, which is about a 20 minute flat ride from Matsumoto Station. This is one of the harder HC races, with a 2km section of 17% grade at the beginning of the race. After the 17%, the grade levels out to something more tolerable.
The scenery, though, is fantastic and there is a chance to see Matsumoto castle, a national treasure and the oldest extant castle in Japan.
Unfortunately the date clashes with the Granfondo OZE-TOKURA, but since that is almost the same course as the Giro de Hotaka in November, we decided to do Utsukushigahara in June and the Giro in November.
As soon as I have some idea how many are interested, I will arrange the accommodation.
