Nishiizu Skyline Ride Meeting

I participated in the Nishiizu Skyline Ride Meeting at the invitation of Numata's slope master Koba_Hiro.



Meet at JR(Japan Railways) Kan-nami Station on the Tokaido Line at 9:00. I left home in time for the 6:40 train to Fujisawa Station.

"It's been a long time since I've carried my bike on train. Wonder remember how to do it? Oh, I forgot my bike bag."

Supposed to be put a bike in a bicycle bag, when carrying a bicycle on train in Japan. 



Arrive at Kan-nami station at 8:30, where we had a briefing for today's ride and everyone's short self-introduction.

Heading south to Shuzenji on the cycling road along the Kano River.


They say that there will be no resupply points until we come down from the mountain area today.
So I bought two rice balls and a beans bread at Family Mart near Shuzenji.


Pass Shuzenji area.


The road gradually becomes narrower, and it seems to be a forest road.


Passing through a forest road-like section of Prefectural Road No. 18,


Arrived at Darumayama Rest House.


Mt.Fuji over Suruga Bay seen from the rest house is the best!
We took a group photo here and then parted ways. Divide into groups by destination and move on.


Turn left at Heda Pass and enter the Nishiizu Skyline.


The Nishiizu Skyline runs while looking at view like this. Well, the tension is up. There are many scenic points.


Downhill!


Repeatedly climbing and descending, we arrived at Kazehaya Pass. The Nishi-Izu Skyline continues a little further, but we descended from here today.


It is a long downhill of 15km from here.


Take a break at Seven-Eleven in Yugashima. Eat  2 rice balls, double cream buns, and a croquette.


After the break, head to Kokushi Pass.


We came down from Kokushi Pass.
It's getting close to sunset, so we're going to hurry.



The sun went down at Hiekawa Pass.


Arrived safely at the destination, JR Ito Station .

曽我山のオフロード

Today I plan to leave before noon and run off-road from Shibusawa Hills to Mt. Soga.
R134-Pacific Coast Bicycle Road- R1 to the other side of Ninomiya. Turn right at Oshikiri Bridge. Leave R1 and take Prefectural Road 709. Along the Nakamura River and the tributary Fujisawa River on the way to the starting point, Nakai Chuo Park. The Fujisawa River is calm and has a nice atmosphere.

三浦半島一周で上り坂のインターバルトレーニング!?

今日は三浦半島一周、約100kmを走った。
いくつもある短い上り坂でインターバルトレーニングなのだ。

まずは、原宿六ツ浦線で朝比奈トンネルまで
距離1km、平均斜度3.3%の坂。
脚が温まる前で、少し重い感じがしたけど、
平均23.9km/h。
出だしとしてはいい感じかな。
この道で三浦半島を横切って、あとは海沿いを時計回りね。

富士山ヒルクライムの反省メモ

ヒルクライムレースに出たのはたぶん8年ぶり。
今回の経験をちゃんと反省して次回に生かそう。

5:30 渋滞で予定より少し遅くなってしまったが、駐車場に到着。
暗くて足下がよく見えないけど、牧場を駐車場に開放しているのかな?
けっこう臭う。
運が付くのはいいけど、うん○が付いたらやだなぁ。
ライトがどこかにいってしまい、探すのに時間をくってしまった。
まだ暗い中、駐車場から会場まで少し坂を上る。
