cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Mt.Tokachidake (Mt.Tokachi) 34

Temperature: minus 14 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen).

The snow on the road was so heavy at low altitudes that he needed more power to climb. But crossing 1000m of altitude, the snow on the road became light and it was easier to climb. He climbed three times. Just after the interval training at the summit of the third climb, clouds which were rising reached the altitude of the summit and the route was completely in the clouds.
