Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Kitami Pass 9

Temperature: minus 17 degrees Celsius at the Kitami Pass

It was cold enough thanks to the radiative cooling. The road surface was very smooth although it was a little muddy around the summit because of snow melting agent. He met skiers from Osaka at the summit and talked with them for a while. The descent was very fun. As the road surface was good, he could descent using the power drifting technic very easily.
