There is another pass road where this must have happened: Maze Toge, which is between Nagatoro and Kodama (towards Waseda Honjo).
This is great news for us, but only if the same bikers don't then start racing on other mountain roads.
Link was broken, but I fixed it for you. Interesting move.
James, thanks for fixing the link. But o-oh! The title clearly says motorbikes, but the article only mentions 二輪車, two-wheeled vehicles or two-wheelers and that would include bicycles! Am I being paranoid again?
Has this stopped you from going through Karisaka Tunnel?
Anyhow, I would be surprised if we found a sign when getting onto the road having come up on Kazahari Rindo.
This road will be all ours!!
Clever Ludwig...forgot for a while about the rindo shortcut! Some day I'd like to do a re-run of that Karisaka loop, anyone interested?
BTW, anyone riding tomorrow? Am thinking of doing something flattish as a "training" for the X-Mas Enduro on Sunday. Yamanakako might fit the bill.
(I can already hear Michael loudly protest now, telling me to keep my legs fresh for Sunday...)
Tom I found I ride better if I put a run in the day before~! Looks like sunny with spells of rain, sunday overcast...hopefully the rain will hold off.
