They started at the city of Tobetsu and did the training between the city of Tobetsu and the Tobetsu Dam. The road was covered with hard ice and well compacted snow. They rode almost all itinerary talking together. The surface of the Lake Tobetsu-Fukuro wasn’t completely frozen yet. It was snowing hard when they got back to the city of Tobetsu. The road was covered with thick fresh snow and it made difficult to ride. Dr.K renounced to ride and walked the last part of the training although K continued to ride up to the original point.
