Imagawa for instance, although a bit shorter, would in my opinion be rated a 1. Matsuhime from Saruhashi-side, I would give a 2.2, Suzugane from Saruhashi-side is only a 0.4 in my humble opinion.the ups and downs of a belgian amateur cyclist in tokyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959055533465197463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-76809584303578321092009-04-14T21:58:00.000+09:002009-04-14T21:58:00.000+09:00This is a nice idea, though my own ratings would d...This is a nice idea, though my own ratings would differ quite a bit. For starters, I really like Wada and cannot give it a rating that would suggest difficulty or toughness. At less than 20 minutes, it is of reasonable length and very nice going up a lovely forest.<br /><br />For me, the ultimate nightmare are climbs on roads with heavy traffic. And long climbs that I do when I'm already pretty exhausted. Anything else is nice. And I like long climbs when the landscape is beautiful and I don't feel like having to put up another best time. I refuse to do a time-trial on Yanagisawa - it is just too nice to be spoilt by one's ego.Manfred von Holsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569864868439666760noreply@blogger.com
