Hakone Cycling

Finally I achieved one of my dream "go over Hakone by bicycle", I went to Odawara by train carrying my bike an a bag.

Started at Odawara



Hakone Shrine

Lake Ashi from a road

Today's lunch was wakasagi soba

Going through Sengokuhara

Scenery of Lake Ashi, Golf courses and Mt. Hakone from Nagao pass (911m high)

Very unfortunately, couldn't see Mt. Fuji clearly because the light was from behind


Prefectural Route 78 (a road to Ashigara pass) was so steep that I had to walk my bike up.
After the pass the downslope was so steep as well that I had to break almost all the time. After going down the pass, Route 78 in Kanagawa side was so nice. It's straight and going down but not so steep; Transportation is no so much.

Sunset of Sakou River

I went back from Shin Matsuda Station. It was very tough. I biked 84.49km and passed the three mountain passes... I was so tired. I don't wanna do this again for a while :P
What I find today is , it's gradient, not altitude, which counts.
