I have morning training sessions at Gokurakuji Temple almost every Sunday.

Chapter 2 is about power training, and I'm continuing to attack Gokurakujiyama.

[Challenge for people in their 40s] Challenging my own record from 7 years ago on the Gokurakuji Hill Climb! Video Compilation Page

Starting this month, I've begun training at Gokurakujiyama every Sunday morning.

The route I rode two times ago is a 42km intermediate course (I've arbitrarily named it so) that starts from Grumpy and goes in a loop.

The elevation gain is about 620m. This feels almost the same as riding 100km on flat ground.

We meet at 8 AM at the sign at the base of Gokurakujiyama.

We welcome anyone who is out of shape, or who can teach us tips for riding hill climbs faster.
