Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Mt.Tokachidake (Mt.Tokachi) 125

Temperature: minus 12 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen).

Travelled distance: 23km

Maximal velocity: 70.0km/h

The road wasn’t cleared of snow. The snow on the road above 800m of altitude was a little muddy but this fact didn’t bother the training. Trees were covered with soft rime above 900m of altitude. He repeated the interval training at the summit as usual. The descent was rapid for the most of the part. But in corners, the snow was muddy that the front wheel skidded several times.
