What a beautiful day for a ride! Takao to Uenohara, over to Okutamako via Kosuge, then up to Tsukiyomi, down past Tomin-no-mori to Itsukaichi on the Hinohara-kaido, then home. I'd never ridden the section from Uenohara to Kosuge before, although I'd seen it on maps. It was fantastic - great roads, almost no traffic, and 20-odd kilometers of mostly steep, switch-backing, awesome climbing. I can't wait to ride out there again!
