Temperature: 0 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen)

A depression was passing south of Hokkaido. It was snowing from time to time. And south-east winds were strong. Because of these south-east winds, a micro-foehn occurred on the west slant. So the temperature was so high that the snow on the road was very wet and heavy. It was very difficult to do the usual interval training. So he renounced the interval and just concentrated on riding at high revolution.
