Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Mt.Tokachidake (Mt.Tokachi) 143 - Mt.Asahidake (Mt.Asahi) 12

Temperature: minus 5 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen) and minus 4 degrees Celsius at the Asahidake Hot Springs (Asahidake Onsen).

A cold air mass was covering Hokkaido. However, its arrival was later than expected. He was supposed to train at the Kitami Pass this day but he had to cancel it as the road surface temperature was still high there. So he went to the Mt.Tokachidake where the road surface temperature had gone down earlier. He climbed two times repeating the interval training. After the training at the Mt.Tokachidake, he went to the Mt.Asahidake to train and did the interval at the summit. The road surface condition was a little bad there in comparison with the Mt.Tokachidake.
