Off-Season Training Report - Mt.Tokachidake (Mt.Tokachi) 30


K participated in this training. It was minus 3 degrees Celsius at the Mt.Tokachidake Hot Springs. The travelled distance was 35km. Tendency of high temperature is continuing. Usually it's difficult to ride with summer tires early morning in this season as the road surface freezes. However, because of high temperature tendency, he can ride even at this hour.

The temperature isn't so high at a low altitude because of radiative cooling. However, the ground inversion layer exists. The temperature at a high altitude is enough high so that you ride with summer tires.
