Training Report - Etanbetsu Pass

K participated in this training. It was minus 15 degrees Celsius at the Etanbetsu Pass. It's the first time to do training on the Etanbetsu Pass on which he always wanted to ride since Kiritachi Pass 2.

Beginning climbing from the Horokanai Side.

A snowplough has just cleared the snow on the road.

It was snowing from time to time although it usually snows constantly in this season. It's rare we have so light snowfall in this region under this pressure pattern.

He climbs without any intencity because he has another training this afternoon.

After passing the summit, he descended a little to the other side and climbed again from the Asahikawa Side.

Passing the summit for the second time.

Parking at the summit.

The descent is fun enough. The gradient is steep enough and he can speed easily.
