8 Touge challenge DONE!

Met up with JamesK early and went touge hunting. James was on fire and when I headed home, happy with 8 touges for the morning, he went out and had Okutama for an afternoon snack!

There were plenty of bikes out and most of the regular haunts along the run had a fair number of bikers about. JamesK spotted a pack of fellow FJRs and gave chase. He now has an invite to the May FJR owners club meeting in Karuizawa. Other than bikes, the roads are still reasonably quiet, thankfully.

Well, managed to hit 8touges in around 250km and had a great ride doing it. The weather was overcast and cold all morning. But the roads were dry and relativley ice free. Here’s a vid for the Miyoujin – Mikuni Touge route. Miyoujin – Mikuni Touge, NW Kanagawa This is the mountainpass running north-south just east of Fuji Speedway - the biannual home to the Japan F1 Grandprix.

  • oyly : Drove all the way from Motegi to Sugo, and 20% chance of rain just turned into 100% chance of rain.... :-(
  • oyly : It\'s up and down. Yesterday when the race was it was a beautiful 27 degrees. None of the forecasted rain. The cloud cover and morning fog seemed to cool things down nicely!
  • theDude : At sugo, eh? hopefully less warm then down here!
