Ohkawara Heights

Jan 1, 2011

view the big map with a meters above the sea level graph

I was attracted by the good weather, so I cycled to Ohkawara Heights which was 910m in height. Many cyclists in Tokushima, they usually practices hill climb here.
The temperature was below the freezing point, but became hotter when I began climbing the slope. I took off clothes in sequence, and at last I became only wear a T-shirt only.

In a ridge line of the mountaintop, wind-power generators were lined up. I saw the Great Naruto Bridge where was 50km distant.

66.97km/Total 4h

    There is not a route from Awaji-shima to Tokushima.
    There are some possibility to carry by express bus, if you are "cannot speak Japanese" foreigner.
    I think that the bicycle road is necessary for Great Naruto Bridge and Great Akashi Bridge.

    If you go to the Shikoku-island(Tokushima) by bicycle, you can run splendid "Shimanami-Kaido" bridges.
    A bicycle road was added to an expressway(toll road) here.
