Hi all,
As a part of my Kusatsu training, I plan to do regular climbs on Yabitsu-toge (~700 meters ascent) every Monday in March, except for cold or rainy days - March 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, and, maybe, April 4th - and would welcome any TCC'er, who has some free Monday morning/afternoon time, to join. Naturally, it is not meant to replace any KT rides on week-ends, if there are any, but comes as a bonus training.
The plan is very simple - ride to Noborito station (Odakyu line), pack the bike, take an express train leaving at ~9am to Hadano st., unpack the bike, climb Yabitsu-toge from the south (usually, I do it 2 times), go back to Hadano st., pack the bike, take train to Noborito st., unpack the bike, ride home.
I recon it will take time until ~13.30 (arrive home), or ~12.30 if you climb Yabitsu once.
I am flexible with the start time, which currently is ~9am at Noborito st., but if you plan to join and want it different - let know in this thread.
All updates / cancellations are to be posted in this thread.
The first "reconnaissance" run is March 7, it's still chilly, but it's the southern slope, so, hopefully, ok to ride.
UPD: just checked the weather and it seems there is a bit of rain coming. If it stays like this until Sat - no ride on March 7, might move it to this Sunday, if nothing better comes up.
