Typhoon Hagibis is gone. Hagibis means speed and fortunately this was a fast moving storm. The sun was out today and I experienced an incredible ride in the Japanese Alps. It started with a 19 mile climb followed by a 28 mile descent. Way cool!! Enjoy the sights and a short Relive video of day 9 on the Samurai Epic.
The Japanese Alps are beautiful. I couldn't think of a better way to take in the natural beauty than on a bike.
Short Relive video of my ride. This SW application is pretty cool. Enjoy.
Stunning view from one of the bridges I crossed on the route.
Meet Ikki & Remi. These two individuals provide SAG support, transport our luggage and help us immensely with language translation. Great guys!!
Cycling the road less traveled!
Went off the beaten path for lunch and had curry with a Japanese twist. It was unique and very good. Pictured here are the two waitresses and two chefs.
While we are on food, I have noticed Japanese mountain cuisine has less fish and more nuts, greens and fruit.
Transportation - Specialized Roubaix Pro.
Gujo Hachiman Castle near our accommodations for the evening.
View of Gujo from the Castle.
