  • - Hey, yesterday, it was just torrential rain.

  • Probably rained from, since we woke up to about 5 PM.

  • Checked the forecast,

  • and it said today would be beautifully sunny.

  • Should've looked at the wind a little bit more,

  • it's gonna be a headwind all the way to Akagi, I think.

  • But once we're there, we'll be in the forest,

  • get some nice shielding on the Rindo to the top (pants).

  • Hopefully, some awesome views, if the clouds stay away.

  • (lighthearted acoustic music)

  • (lighthearted acoustic music)

  • So, I've probably climbed Mount Akagi some,

  • twenty times now or so, maybe more,

  • but each time I try to work a little bit more on

  • figuring out the best way to get exactly

  • to the base of Akagi from Kiryu.

  • Mount Akagi is one of the iconic mountains

  • of the continental plains of the area we live in in Japan.

  • On a clear day, from anywhere in Gunma,

  • you can probably see the mountain,

  • and it was one of the first major mountains

  • that I fell in love with climbing here

  • because of it's amazing hidden backroad

  • that cars seldom go up.

  • But each time I go out to Mount Akagi,

  • I try to perfect the commute miles of the ride,

  • I try to perfect the commute miles of the ride,

  • testing out different little roads between here and there,

  • which is how I came upon this awesomely wide bike path

  • that gets you out a fair ways.

  • Woo!

  • Gunma Insect World: the largest collection of insects

  • in Japan, dead and alive!

  • (upbeat jazz music)

  • (upbeat jazz music)

  • (upbeat jazz music)

  • The Mount Akagi is a really massive stratovolcano,

  • at over 1800 meters high, at it's highest point.

  • The mountain basically starts at the base of the Tone River,

  • some 50, maybe 100 meters above sea,

  • so it has a huge prominence.

  • It can often be deceiving when you see it in the distance

  • as you might think there's multiple mountains,

  • but you're actually just seeing the different jagged peaks

  • of the caldera ring that houses the caldera lakes

  • inside the center of the mountain that were formed

  • when the mountain erupted some 30,000 years ago.

  • (upbeat jazz music)

  • (upbeat jazz music)

  • Now, for those segment hunting,

  • this is where the official climb begins.

  • From here, you have about just around 10 kilometers

  • at an average of 8.5 or so percent.

  • It's a bit deceptive because the beginning starts off steep

  • like this, there's a low and some drops

  • after about two kilometers in, once you get past the shrine.

  • Now, one of the nice things about this climb is

  • they number the turns, you can see there:

  • Numbered one, all the way up to, I believe 99.

  • I don't think they numbered the last turn

  • because it turns onto the road,

  • but you've got a 100 curves to the top.

  • And, if you look at the profile of it, it really --

  • there's just switchback after switchback most of these,

  • probably well over 60 of them are switchbacks.

  • Now, you might think, "Ah, when I hit curve number 50,

  • I'm halfway there".

  • No, don't try to think the number of curves you're on

  • is an indicator of how far up you are 'cause

  • there is some serious space between some of these curves.

  • Alright, let's hit the climb.
