Dedided to do a solo ride ahead of potential Hokkaido ride to get back in shape.. This was only the second day ride of the year for me…!
As usual, early start at 5:00 AM. Easy on Chuo and then on country side towards Venus line. In contrast to Tokyo it was quite cool with hazy but beautiful country side! Pictures en route
It was barely 7 AM at this point, brilliant sunrise!
More pics en route
Just beautiful road!
And the start of the venus line, this one is not well marked on the map, at least the English one
More pics from the skyline
Just brilliant summer sky, these low dynamic range pics just don’t do any justice….
At the highest elevation on venus skyline
Started riding don from here
Lake Shirakaba
Continuing on the Koegn, brilliant, just brilliant!
Brilliant clouds!
And finally Lake Suwa!
After this headed back home. GPS track and stats for the ride
