Nagano Day 1: Yatsugatake

Monday August 24th, 2020

96.7km (total ascent 2,196m)

Starting at the Yatsugatake Natural Country Park, ride around the foothills of Yatsugatake and then an 19km slog, ascending just over 1,000m over the peak along the Marchen rode. Absolutely beautiful landscape and the views from the top were breath taking. After a rest, headed down the mountain to Saku. Then ride along the hills (lots of short ups and downs) towards Kobuchizawa and then returned (in light rain) to the country park.
