New Hilly Japan Bike Route from Gumisawa to Hakkeijima

Cycle Fitness 2008

Saturday 11 Oct I rode a new 40 km route, this time going East from the mother ship towards Hakkeijima. I went up kanjo 3 go, towards my elder daughter's school, and over to CostCo for some bagels and granola, but it was much harder than I thought, with a 4 km hill right out of the gate. A good difference from the usual "almost no hills" route. Hill-riding is really a different skillset, and is tiring in a different way from my 63 km route down to Enoshima, along the coast, and up via the Sagami and Mekujiri rivers.

Check out my other bike routes in Japan, as there are some really nice places to ride here in Kanagawa and Shonan.
