Hamamatsu solo ride. A bit of climbing and exploring closed roads in the mountains.
1:28:00 – closed rode
2:02:42 – stunning bridge
Embarking on a solo cycling excursion through Hamamatsu’s mountainous terrain, I anticipated a straightforward ascent. However, a detour presented itself in the form of a closed road. After a brief deliberation, I opted to proceed. While the path was navigable despite the scattered debris, a gravel bike would have undoubtedly offered a more comfortable experience. Once again, Hamamatsu’s breathtaking scenery surpassed my expectations, solidifying its status as a must-ride destination. The region’s sole deficiency lies in the scarcity of cafes and rest stops within the mountainous areas, a stark contrast to Tokyo’s abundance. I remain optimistic that this will evolve with the burgeoning popularity of road cycling in Japan.
浜松の山岳地帯を一人でサイクリングする旅に出ました。簡単な登りを予想していましたが、通行止めの道という迂回路が現れました。少し考えた後、進むことにしました。道には散乱した瓦礫がありましたが、走行は可能でした。しかし、グラベルバイクなら間違いなくもっと快適だったでしょう。改めて、浜松の息を呑むような景色は私の期待を上回り、必走の目的地としての地位を確固たるものにしました。この地域の唯一の欠点は、山岳地帯にカフェや休憩所が少ないことで、東京の豊富さと著しい対照をなしています。日本のロードバイクの人気がますます高まるにつれて、これが進化することを期待しています。
