Snow Biking in Japan

cycling training on snow with road racing bikes with studded tires

Morai - Atsuta Pass 3

Temperature: minus 21 degrees Celsius at Morai and minus 9 degrees Celsius at the Atsuta Pass

Il was cold because of a radiative cooling. He hadn’t expected so low temperature at the coast as its climate is not continental. He didn’t bring enough equipment for this temperature like goggles with heating lenses. So, he did most of the training on the hills where the temperature was higher than the level land. Just between the hills, he had to pass in the low temperature. But the passage was so short that the cold didn’t freeze the glasses. After the interval training at the coast, he moved to the Atsuta Pass. He did another set of the interval there.
