Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Kiritachi Pass 5

Temperature: minus 10 degrees Celsius at the Kiritachi Pass

Il was snowing hard. It was very difficult to see cars approaching because of the low visibility. He had planned to train also at the other side of the pass but cancel due to the low visibility as the wind was stronger and the visibility was lower at the other side. It would be too dangerous to ride in this low visibility. He made a U-turn at the summit and he descended. He did the interval training at the foot of the mountain where it was snowing less. The heavy snowfall and the brake disks were making very beautiful sounds during the descent.
