Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Furano 6

Temperature: minus 5 degrees Celsius in Higashi-Tomioka.

Seasonal winds were strong because of a depression situated in the east, of which the central pressure was 974hPa. From time to time the visibility went down because of ground blizzard. The roads were partially covered with snowdrifts. But they were so small that they didn’t affect the training.
