Tomorrow (Wed) in the early morning I'll be heading up to Yamanakako near Fuji on R413 and back via Fujiyoshida / R35 / Takao-san on a training run for my 300 km brevet that's now 4 weeks away. My training route is 223 km with 2300 m of climbing with a goal of about 14 hours.

On both my previous training rides (227 and 200 km) involving a shortened version of the 300 km brevet route, I ended up not taking R35 and Takao because it was getting late. This time coming back via R35 (which I've never taken) and going over Takao (which I've done once before) is the main objective of this ride. I'm taking R413 out towards Fuji because it's a long steady climb (60 km / 1000 m = about half the total gain).
I'll be going from Setagaya along Tamagawa to Tama and Machida (the brevet starting point and goal) and back the same way. I'll pass by Welcia in Machida, near the 32 km mark and not coincidentally across the street from a bike shop, around 07:00 and aim to be back there around 17:00. I'm planning to leave my home in Setagaya at 05:00 and getting back around 19:00.
It's going to be a slow ride (20-23 km/h in flat sections, less while climbing) but I'll try to keep moving as much as possible. I don't really expect anyone to join me at this short notice mid-week and this combination of distance and (lack of) speed, but I'm posting it anyway
