This is basically Otsuki 4.5 but longer and more climbing. Good luck. The climb that starts at 87km, Kamihikawa-toge, is the hardest one, and you didn't even mention it.

 

[Musashi13]

I know nothing, @Aron B

I See what you mean...that's why in 2013 when this was proposed before it ended up turning into the Otsuki 4.5 which I went on. I thought it looked challenging, now I know it is.

Anyone else up for it? Maybe we should start earlier?

 

[Musashi13]

Please note the newer start time!

 

[Musashi13]

That was rad!

 

[Heath]

It was a nice ride, with fantastic descents and some tough climbs toward the end.

Here are a few snaps:

Bridge and green.

@theBlob Are you sure?

This what I found:

Selfie
A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them so they resort to Myspace to find internet friends and post pictures of themselves, taken by themselves. A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera.

 

[Andy in Tokyo]

@Musashi13 why have you not educated @Heath in the way of the selfie? I'm not angry, just disappointed. Gravely disappointed.

 

[wexford]

Maybe that should be in the Wiki?

I will have to consult Yoda on this.
