Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Mt.Tokachidake (Mt.Tokachi) 76

Temperature: minus 11 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen).

An operation of snow removal was underway. The tail lamp shut down during the climb. He didn’t charge it since the training Mt.Tokachidake 70. That’s why it shut down. The snow on the road was almost compacted. Trees above 900m of altitude was covered with soft rime. The parking at the summit was full of cars belonging to skiers because places where you can ski are limited in this period of the year. He did an interval training at the summit as usual. The descent was rapid thanks to the good condition of the snow.
